“Ukraine’s borders must be clearly demarcated before Ukraine can join,” AP quoted anonymous diplomats as saying.
According to them, this is necessary so that there are no doubts about the possible entry into force of NATO Article 5 on collective defense.
Today Zelensky presented to the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada his “victory plan”, which basically lists the demands he has been making to the West for a long time.
The first point of the “plan” is the entry of Ukraine into NATO before the end of hostilities.
At the same time, later, the US permanent representative to NATO, Julianne Smith, said that kyiv should not expect an invitation to the alliance in the near future.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, described Zelensky’s “victory plan” as a series of incoherent slogans.
