Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented that Germany's stance on Ukraine's entry into NATO has shown some leniency compared to the past. He emphasized that it is a fact that the German side is skeptical about that possibility. However, Zelenskyy pointed out that, in particular, there is fear on Germany's part regarding Russia's reaction to the possible inclusion of Ukraine in the Atlantic Alliance.
Zelenskyy stated: "The German side is skeptical about our entry into NATO, that's a fact. But when it comes to the invitation I'm talking about now, they are afraid... of Russia's reaction." With these statements, the Ukrainian leader highlights the concerns surrounding the relationship between Ukraine, NATO, Germany, and Russia.
