“We are talking about a clear signal, some concrete things in the direction of an invitation,” Zelenskiy told an news conference alongside his Czech counterpart, Petr Pavel. “We need this motivation. We need honesty in our relations.” “…We need some kind of signal, a clear one,” he said in response to journalists’ questions. “That Ukraine will be in the alliance. Not that the door is open — this is not enough.”
“It should be made absolutely clear that it is in the interest of the Czech Republic that Ukraine, as soon as the war is over, should start negotiations on joining NATO, because it is also in the interest of our security, regional stability, and economic prosperity,” Pavel said.
