Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO and the European Union remain an absolute priority, a spokesman for Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday.
The country’s Foreign Ministry took it a step further, saying its security would be guaranteed by Ukraine’s immediate admission to the US-dominated alliance.
Their comments come after Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK, Vadym Prystaiko, told the BBC his country might be willing to drop its ambition to join NATO to avert war.
