According to the head of state, he told the Secretary General “about the situation on the battlefield, in particular about the participation of the North Korean military in the Russian aggression against Ukraine. A more decisive reaction of the Western countries to the new role of North Korea in the Russian-Ukrainian war is needed.”
“They also talked about the implementation of the decisions of the Washington NATO summit, in particular about the strengthening of air defense, investments in the Ukrainian production of projectiles, drones and long-range weapons,” Zelenskyi said.
The President emphasized that Ukraine needs permission to use long-range weapons on military facilities in Russia.
Earlier, Politico, citing four US and NATO officials and diplomats, wrote that Germany and the United States are in no hurry to invite Ukraine to join NATO. Hungary, Slovakia, Belgium, Slovenia and Spain are also against this decision.
At a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada on October 16, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, presented the points of his proposed “victory plan” for Ukraine in the war with Russia. It consists of five public items and several classified applications. The first point is the invitation of Ukraine to NATO.
Before that, Zelensky presented this plan in Britain, France, Germany and Italy, and in September – in the USA.
On October 18, during an interview with Ukrainian journalists, Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that Ukraine has already become closer to the US in terms of joining NATO, but Germany remains skeptical.
