NATO will only now recognize Russia as a main threat to the Alliance, but Russia perceived NATO as an enemy for a long time - president Zelensky told #NATOSummit in Madrid via videolink.
'If you believe Russia is your main threat, you should support its main target, Ukraine'
'If you believe Russia is your main threat, you should support its main target, Ukraine'
'Just think about it: a country, which is not a NATO member, albeit with your help, has been deterring a country which you recognize as your main threat, for more than four months. We deter Russia from destroying ourselves and from destroying you too' - Zelensky at #NATOSummit
Zelensky also hints - but not says it explicitly - that Ukraine's NATO membership aspirations are still valid. 'Hasn't Ukraine paid enough yet? Is our contribution to the defence of Europe and civilization not enough? What else is needed?'
'What we need is security guarantees. You [NATO] have to find a place for Ukraine in the common security space. It's either urgent assistance for Ukraine to win, or Russia's war against NATO in the future' - Ukraine's president Zelensky at #NATOSummit in Madrid
