Zelenskyj urgently calls for NATO to invite Ukraine to Iceland
The diplomatic battle was raging in Reykjavik! Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for a direct invitation to NATO membership at a key meeting with Nordic Council leaders. A passionate call amidst the shocking reality: With the ongoing Russian aggression, Kiev does not see immediate accession to NATO, but a symbolic invitation could change everything!
Zelenskyj appealed to the heads of government of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden with urgent words. He called on them to put pressure on Germany to make a decisive political decision that could strengthen not only Ukraine but all of Europe. “Joining NATO would make Ukraine an insurmountable protective barrier against Russia’s empire,” said Zelensky. In order to reorganize geopolitics in the region, close cooperation between all European partners, especially with Berlin, is essential.
Urgency underlines Zelensky's claims
Zelensky left no doubt that his country deserves a clear, honest answer. In an earlier meeting with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other European leaders, he highlighted his goal of bringing Ukraine into NATO. This is part of his comprehensive plan, which has lost none of its urgency given the war that has been going on for almost 1,000 days. Even at a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels on Monday, there was no progress for Kiev - the clock is ticking as concerns about Russia's aggressive power ambitions continue to grow.
