Zelensky: If we were NATO members, war wouldn't have begun

If we were NATO members, war would not have begun. I'd like to get security guarantees for my country, for my people”, Zelensky told CNN's Fared Zechariah in “GPS”, adding that he was grateful for the help NATO has provided since the beginning of the invasion, sends abcnews.al.

Then there's a message for the alliance. “If NATO members are willing to look at us in the alliance, then do it immediately because people are dying every day”, he stressed.

But if you're not ready to save the lives of our people, if you just want to see us in two worlds, if you want to see us in this suspicious position where we don't understand whether you can accept us or not, you can't put us in this situation, you can't force us to be in this memorence”, he added.

I asked them personally to say directly that we will accept you to NATO after a year or two or five, just to say it directly and clearly, or just say no,” said Zelensky.

“And the answer was very clear, you will not be a NATO member, but publicly, doors will remain open”, he said. g.v/abcnews. al
