KIEV – President Ukraine , Volodymyr Zelensky decried what he called the “ridiculous” denial NATO to offer his country a schedule to join that military alliance.
“There appears to be no desire to grant Ukraine an invitation to NATO or make it a member of the Alliance,” Zelensky wrote on Twitter.
“Doubt is weakness,” he continued as quoted from EuronewsTuesday (11/7/2023).
Zelensky said he had received a “signal” communiqué coming from the Nato summit in Vilnius not to pledge Ukraine membership after the war was over.
“The formula refers only to invitation, not accession of Ukraine,” Zelensky said of the statement being negotiated by NATO leaders.
He called it “absurd and unprecedented” that the declaration under discussion did not include a date for inviting Ukraine to join the Alliance.
Zelensky also complained that the declaration prepared by NATO leaders referred to conditions not only for Ukraine’s membership in NATO but only for the country to be invited to join.
