Zelenski is pushing for entry into the Organization because it is "the only real security guarantee," while Russia has already made it clear that it is "unacceptable" because it would pose a "threat".

Ukraine needs more military assistance now. Discussions about what the peace process should look like from the allies are not a priority, according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Rutte commented on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's statement about NATO's umbrella for part of Ukraine's territories to end the hot phase of the war.

Nato leaders should focus all their efforts on sending more weapons to Ukraine so it can enter possible peace talks from a position of strength, and not spend the time “pondering” other initiatives, secretary-general Mark Rutte has said.
