The Office of the President of Ukraine has denied the information that a number of NATO countries oppose Ukraine’s invitation to join NATO.
This was stated by Serhiy Nikiforov, a spokesman for the Office of the President, in a statement provided to Ukrainian media.
“The information in the media that 7 countries oppose Ukraine’s invitation to NATO is not true. These rumors are beneficial to those who want to create a false impression that Ukraine’s accession does not have broad support among the Alliance members. In fact, the idea of inviting Ukraine is supported by the vast majority of member states, and active advocacy efforts are underway for the rest.
The invitation is the first point of the President’s Victory Plan and a reliable path to a just and lasting peace. Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented the Plan to international partners, the Ukrainian parliament and community, media and civil society representatives, and is consolidating their efforts to bring Ukraine’s invitation to NATO closer.”
