Ukraine’s Path to NATO Membership
Ukraine wants to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The country’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, thinks this goal is achievable. However, he believes that Ukraine needs to convince its allies to make it happen.
Zelenskyy spoke with top diplomats in Kyiv on Sunday. He said that membership in NATO would be crucial for protecting Ukraine from Russia if a ceasefire happens.
