Ukraine's Zelenskyy says only US green light on NATO invitation will sway reluctant Germany
NATO — is not welcome by some key Western partners, in particular Germany. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia was also likely looking at the postelection scenario in the US to assess the possibility of cease-fire talks with Ukraine. He assessed that if partial cease-fire deals could be reached over attacks on energy infrastructure and Black Sea shipping routes, it would signal the end of the «hot phase» of the war.
Zelenskyy spoke to journalists on Monday and his comments were embargoed until Tuesday.
On NATO, Zelenskyy said France, Britain and Italy have shown signs of support. Germany has reservations, however, and Zelenskyy believes only a US green light will convince Berlin to accept the idea.
«The German side is sceptical about our NATO membership — that's a fact. I believe their stance is softer than it was before — this is also a fact. But when it comes to the invitation I'm talking about now, they are afraid of...Russia's reaction,» he said.
«I believe that their position will be influenced by a bigger alliance. A bigger alliance in supporting us — a confident „Yes“ from the United States.»
