Volodymyr Zelensky: Today is the 13th day of Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Ukraine has suffered a great loss in these days. Ukraine sought help from many countries, but the voice of the big countries slowed down in front of Russia’s threats. A major reason for this war was Ukraine’s plan to join NATO. However, now President Volodymyr Zelensky has made it clear that Ukraine will no longer seek NATO membership.
From Zelensky’s words, it was as if he had given up. He said that he is ready to compromise on the two provinces on which Russia had announced before the war. Let us tell you that on February 24, Russia declared the two separatist provinces of Ukraine, Luhansk and Donetsk, independent.
Zelensky said – it was already understood that NATO will not take Ukraine
In an interview with ABC News, Zelensky said, “I already understood that NATO would not accept Ukraine. That’s why I stopped thinking about it. He said, I would not like to be the President of a country that kneels down and begs from anyone. Let us tell you that one reason for Russia’s attack is that Ukraine first wanted to become a member of NATO, an organization created to save Europe from the Soviet Union at the beginning of the Cold War.
Russia’s demand was that Ukraine should not join NATO; Now the dispute can be resolved
Russia feared that if NATO forces came to Ukraine, then Moscow was not too far from there. Regarding Russia’s demands, Zelensky said he was ready to negotiate. Zelensky said he was only asking for security guarantees. He said, these two provinces are not occupied by any country. Russia has claimed this. Russia itself is a pseudo republic country. However, I am ready to find a way out through dialogue. What is important is that those who want those provinces to be part of Ukraine be allowed to live in peace.
