(MENAFN- UkrinForm) President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that receiving an invitation to NATO is part of Ukraine's Victory Plan.
The head of the Ukrainian state said this during a press conference following the Ukraine – South East Europe summit, which took place in Dubrovnik (Croatia), reports Ukrinform.
"Yes, this is a point of the Victory Plan," Zelensky noted, answering the question of whether Ukraine seeks to receive an invitation to NATO.
"We want to get the first step with an invitation. A specific invitation to the Alliance is not NATO membership. Of course, it is better to be a member of the Alliance. But we are talking about strengthening our position now. Not after the war, not in 10 years, not in 30 years. Now," the president emphasized.
