💬 “The Ukrainian army is the strongest army in Europe. Thanks to our heroes. And I think it is simply not smart to keep this army outside NATO. But at the very least, let that be your decision, friends – not Putin’s decision, please.

And today, among the things that unite Europe most strongly, there is also fear. Not fear that Ukraine might one day join NATO – but fear about whether NATO will even exist. But we support NATO and hope that each day NATO will be stronger and stronger. God bless.

And right now, much of our cooperation with Europe and with other NATO partners – and cooperation inside the Alliance, including the historic decision to move toward 5 percent of GDP on defense – is a response to that fear. I think – it is a correction of past mistakes. And it is an investment in the future, in security. And it is a guarantee that NATO will not only exist – but will act, if God forbid it is ever needed”, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed at the Munich Security Conference.
