Anušauskas: where Zelensky appears, important issues are resolved

“I think the arrival of this president to the country is significant. Where it appears Volodymyr Zelensky very relevant issues of international security are always addressed and resolved,” A. Anušauskas told LRT radio.

As ELTA announced earlier, V. Zelenskis accepted NATO’s invitation to participate in the Alliance summit, which will be held on July 11-12 in Lithuania. This was announced by the Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg.

However, it is not clear whether the President of Ukraine will attend in person or address the NATO leaders meeting in Vilnius via video link. For security reasons, V. Zelensky’s travel plans are not published.

During Mr. Stoltenberg’s first visit to Kyiv this week since the Russian invasion, Mr. Zelenskiy once again pushed for Ukraine’s admission to NATO and emphasized that the country must start “deserved” accession procedures.

In response to this, the Secretary General emphasized that the Alliance agrees that Ukraine will “become a member of NATO”, but did not provide any specific date for Ukraine’s membership.
