Is Ukraine Joining NATO? Zelensky Renews Calls for ... - TIME
Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky
renewed calls for Ukraine to
join NATO
on the first day of the alliance’s summit in Ankara, Turkey.
Thanking leaders “who have
clearly stated
Ukraine belongs in NATO, because NATO with Ukraine is the alliance for the future,” he asked: “Do you really believe it would be right to leave outside NATO, a country and a people with this level of defensive capability?”
Zelensky pointed towards Ukraine’s advanced drone technology and argued it makes sense for these “capabilities to become a part of the alliance's collective defense."
Ukraine’s pursuit of NATO membership has long been documented and is a point of contention for Russia.
At the annual NATO summit last year, former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said: “NATO has no business in Ukraine. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, neither Russia, my job is to keep it as it is.”

President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed hope that one of the key outcomes of the upcoming NATO Summit will be the strengthening of Ukraine’s air defense system.
He made the statement in his
evening video address
, according to Ukrinform.
“In the coming days, there will be a NATO Summit and other formats, and this is exactly what should become one of the key outcomes: air defense. If, of course, NATO still means anything to the Allies. Europe must have its own sufficient capability to defend itself against all types of threats, including this one – Russian ballistic missiles. We have been discussing licenses for the production of Patriots with the U.S. Administration for a long time already,” he said.
Zelensky thanked countries that are assisting Ukraine through the PURL program, which allows the purchase of air defense missiles.
The President stressed that to reliably protect lives, it is necessary to establish the production of American anti-ballistic systems in Europe.
“We hope for a positive response from President Trump to protect lives. I also thank everyone who has expressed condolences to our state toda…
