The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, expresses his hope of receiving an invitation to NATO from US President Joe Biden before the end of his term. Le Monde writes about it , referring to its own sources. Zelenskyi believes that this step can be a turning point in ending the war, as it will allow Kyiv to enter negotiations with Moscow from a position of strength.
Zelensky is actively seeking support among international allies, especially in the United States, in order to strengthen Ukraine's position in the diplomatic field. He hopes that it is Biden who will take a decisive step by inviting Ukraine to NATO, which will provide Kyiv with not only military, but also political support in the international arena. This could strengthen Ukraine's negotiating position in possible negotiations with Russia.
However, according to Le Monde , the probability of the realization of this scenario remains small. The Biden administration is cautious about accelerating Ukraine's accession to NATO, fearing that this step could provoke further escalation of the conflict on the part of Russia.
Despite the constant support of Ukraine from the US, Biden and his administration are still refraining from official promises regarding the accelerated membership of Ukraine in NATO. Washington fears that such a move could draw the alliance into a more direct confrontation with Russia, which could have unforeseen consequences for global security.
According to analysts, Zelensky will have to face difficulties in implementing this plan, given the political realities and the difficult international situation.
