Zelenskyy discusses the importance of NATO invitation and when the war will end

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that an invitation for Ukraine to NATO would strengthen the country's diplomatic efforts to end the war.

Zelenskyy made this statement in an interview with the Financial Times.

According to him, an invitation to NATO solidifies Ukraine's diplomatic pathways to peace. "We cannot be very strong without an invitation (to NATO). This war will end when Putin finds himself isolated and is encouraged by other partners to pursue diplomacy," the President emphasized.

He also noted that an invitation to the Alliance would boost the morale of the Ukrainian people and military.

"An invitation means another step toward NATO, which means that their children will not die. Never, because we will be NATO members. If we do not receive an invitation to NATO, morale will decline," Zelenskyy remarked.
