Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky on Saturday called for a “clear and feasible” timetable for his country’s NATO membership amid fears of a Russian invasion.
Western countries must “support Ukraine and its defense capabilities” and set “a clear and feasible timetable” for its joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Zelensky told the Security Conference in Munich.
Ukraine is “the shield of Europe” against the Russian army, he said.
“We appreciate any help, but everyone must understand that it is not charitable contributions that Ukraine asks for. It is its contribution to the security of Europe and the world, where Ukraine has been the shield for eight years,” he added, referring to the outbreak of the conflict with the pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country and Russia’s annexation of the Crimean peninsula in 2014.
