Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has once once more called for his country to join NATO quickly. He had discussed a common line for the NATO summit in Vilnius in July with Poland’s President Andrzej Duda, he said in his daily video address on Wednesday. “This is precisely the moment when Russian assumptions that someone in NATO is still afraid of Russia should be completely shattered,” Zelenskyy said.
Fears and misconsideration towards Moscow fueled “Russia’s aggressive ambitions,” Zelenskyy said. However, Ukraine has shown how to neutralize this aggression. In this way, his country is also helping to strengthen NATO, he explained.
In addition, the Ukrainian head of state reported on preparations for a reconstruction conference for Ukraine in London. His concern is to build up all the ruins in Ukraine. “If the ruins disappear, not only the attacker loses, but also the idea of aggression,” he said.
He once more criticized the insufficient enforcement of sanctions once morest Russia. As the day before, he responded to a Russian missile strike – this time once morest the port city of Odessa. Many components of these rockets came from abroad. If the sanctions were consistently enforced, Russia would no longer be able to shell Ukraine, he argued.
