The Ukrainian ambassador to London made a 180-degree turn regarding NATO membership. Ambassador Vadim Pristaiko had initially stated, speaking to the BBC, that Ukraine is prepared to be “flexible” in terms of its goal of joining NATO, while the sharp comment of Kiev on his statements is impressive …
Vadim Pristaiko tried to retell his original remarks, saying Ukraine was willing to make many concessions to avoid war – but withdrew from his statement on NATO membership. He said that Ukraine’s commitment to NATO is enshrined in the country’s constitution and will not delay its (NATO) ambitions.
A spokesman for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also sought to clarify the situation, telling Reuters: “This process is not only reflected in the constitution, but also with the full consent of the authorities and society. “The Ambassador used the word ‘flexibility’. I think it is worth giving him the opportunity to explain tI just had that in mind “ said the Ukrainian official sharply.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba on Sunday called for a meeting of members who have signed the 2011 Vienna Document in the coming hours, as the clouds of a Russian invasion thicken.
In a statement, the Ukrainian presidency said that Volodymyr Zelensky had invited Joe Biden to visit Ukraine, stressing that such a move would be indicative of US support and would contribute to de-escalation. Joe Biden told the Ukrainian President that the US will respond “immediately and decisively” if Russia takes further steps for invasion, according to the White House.
