Ukarine (The Stellar News) Saksham Kalia: Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview said, Ukraine don’t want to join NATO as they will not fight Russia. In another apparent nod aimed at placating Moscow, Zelensky said he is open to “compromise” on the status of two breakaway pro-Russian territories that President Vladimir Putin recognized as independent just before unleashing the invasion on February 24.
“I have cooled down regarding this question a long time ago after we understood that … NATO is not prepared to accept Ukraine,” Zelensky said in an interview aired Monday night on ABC News.
“The alliance is afraid of controversial things, and confrontation with Russia,” the president added.
When question asked to Zelensky over the NATO membership, he said, “he doesn’t want to become the president of country which is begging something on his knees”.
