Knocking on the table as a threat! Ukraine issues an ultimatum to NATO summit | NATO | Ukraine
According to the website of the Russian Communist Youth League Truth Daily on June 30th, the Deputy Director of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, Jovkova, stated that Kiev hopes to receive an invitation to initiate the accession process at the NATO summit in July, otherwise Zelensky will not attend the summit.
Jovkova said that Kiev's application for membership is on the table of NATO members, and the response should be an invitation for membership. During an interview, he knocked on the table and said, "We demand the procedure to be initiated." The official threatened that if there were "no results" at the summit and NATO members "did not show courage," Zelensky would have no reason to attend.
Jovkova complained that when Finland and Sweden submitted their applications, "allies immediately responded in June last year, inviting them to join NATO.".
According to reports, NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg stated on the 17th that NATO leaders do not intend to invite Ukraine to join the organization at the Vilnius summit. He believes that NATO will find a common solution to bring Ukraine closer to NATO.
