Zelensky on expectations for Vilnius NATO summit: Ukraine meets standards

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky doubts that strategic decisions on Ukraine’s accession to NATO will be taken at this year’s summit in Lithuania despite his country’s continuing fight for European values. Zelensky, however, hopes that Ukraine will be given a clear signal of further security and aid guarantees.

The Ukrainian president emphasises the strength of the Ukrainian armed forces which meet all the standards for joining NATO, the key of which is to “be strong on a battlefield, without any blah blah blah”.
