President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi said on Thursday during a trip to the Republic of Moldova that Ukraine is ready to be part of the NATO military alliance and that Kyiv is waiting for the bloc to be ready to accept his country into the EU, Reuters reports.
He also confirmed Ukraine’s desire to join the European Union after arriving in Moldova for a summit gathering nearly 50 European leaders.
The summit aims to demonstrate support for both countries as Kyiv prepares to launch a counteroffensive against the Russian invasion.
“We support the integration of Moldova and its people into the EU. You supported our people, our refugees who fled in the first days of the war, and we will never forget it,” Zelenskyy said, standing next to Moldovan President Maia Sandu.
“Our future is in the EU. Ukraine is ready to join NATO,” he added.
The summit of the European political community is hosted by the Republic of Moldova in Mimi Castle, located approximately 20 km from the territory of Ukraine.
