Zelenskiy says he has faith in Nato but not confidence after failure to secure invitation to join – as it happened

Zelenskiy says he has faith in Nato decisions but not confidence

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has said he would like his “faith in a strong Nato” to become confidence.

On Twitter, he said: “Today I embarked on a trip here [Vilnius] with faith in decisions, with faith in partners, with faith in a strong Nato. In a Nato that does not hesitate, does not waste time and does not look back at any aggressor … And I would like this faith to become confidence – confidence in the decisions that we deserve – all of us deserve, and every warrior, every citizen, every mother, every child expects. And is that too much to expect?

“Nato will give Ukraine security. Ukraine will make the Alliance stronger.”
