The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during another conversation with journalists, confirmed that Ukraine has no intention of returning nuclear weapons to its territory. Instead, the country bets on receiving an invitation to the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) as a reliable guarantee of its security.
"At all negotiations, we now touch upon the issue of our security guarantees. NATO is the best. We need NATO because we have no weapons that can stop Putin. We are not asking for nuclear weapons to be given to us or returned. We gave the weapons, but we got nothing. We only got a full-scale war and many victims," the president said while talking to journalists.
He says he voiced this position not only to Trump, but also to Biden and Harris.
"I asked them if you could name me other allies or another "security umbrella", some security measures and guarantees for Ukraine that would be commensurate with NATO. No one can tell me," said Zelensky.
We will remind that the topic of nuclear weapons was raised by Zelensky himself, declaring that Ukraine must either join NATO or develop nuclear weapons.
After the uproar, Zelenskyi said that Ukraine has no intention of developing nuclear weapons.
