A formal invitation to join NATO is the only way for Ukraine to survive the Russian invasion, says Volodymyr Zelensky.
Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview for Britain’s Financial Times that “the only way to survive the Russian invasion” is to formally invite Ukraine to NATO. According to him, such a step would improve the morale of civilians and soldiers.
Zelensky called on world leaders to support the “victory plan.” He argued that Ukraine’s entry into the North Atlantic Alliance “is necessary to bring Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table.” – We cannot be very strong without an invitation [do NATO – przy. red.]which strengthens our diplomatic tools to end the war. This war will end when Putin becomes isolated and forced into diplomacy by other partners, Ukraine’s president said.
“The Victory Plan”. Zelensky spoke with Biden and Trump
On October 15, President Volodymyr Zelensky presented a “victory plan” to the Ukrainian parliament, which is intended to help end the war next year.
During the phone call, Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelensky discussed US support for Ukraine and the “victory plan” in the war with Russia. Biden informed Zelensky about the transfer of a new arms package to Ukraine worth $425 million (about PLN 1.68 billion), including additional air defense assets, surface-to-air missiles, armored vehicles and ammunition.
Zelensky also spoke with Donald Trump. The Ukrainian leader presented the former President of the United States with two options: Ukraine would join NATO or acquire nuclear weapons.
Zelenskiy noted that Ukraine prefers membership of the North Atlantic Alliance to possession of nuclear weapons, which the country gave up in 1994 by signing the Budapest Memorandum. – The NATO countries are not at war, the inhabitants of these countries live in peace. That is why we choose NATO and not other agreements, the Ukrainian leader said. Zelensky said Trump responded that he “had good arguments.”
