May 4, 2023

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine understands it cannot join NATO during the conflict, but wants a ‘clear signal’ that it will be accepted into the North Atlantic Alliance after the end of hostilities.

“We know that we will not join NATO during the war, but during the war we would like to receive a very clear signal that we will be in NATO after the war,” he said during the a press conference in the Netherlands.

In addition, Zelenskyy expressed his confidence in the success of the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and also expressed his desire to use all frozen Russian assets to restore Ukraine. He therefore hopes to develop new mechanisms by which this can be done. .

The day before, it was reported that Volodymyr Zelensyy had arrived at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

It also became known that the leader of the right-wing Dutch Civil-Peasant Movement party Caroline van der Plas refused to attend a meeting with the Ukrainian president.
