The office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claims that ten countries of this defense bloc have already expressed support for its entry into the North Atlantic Alliance. The British newspaper The Guardian reported about it on its website. The advisor to the head of the presidential office, Mychajlo Podoľak, wrote in a status on the Twitter platform that those who support Ukraine’s request for “accelerated” entry into the North Atlantic Alliance are “the majority of countries that remember the claws of the (Russian) empire”. Podolak added that “Ukraine is grateful to the allies for demonstrating leadership and responsibility.” “History is being made today,” he said. On Friday, September 30, President Zelenskyi announced the submission of an application for Ukraine’s entry into NATO, as part of an accelerated procedure. According to the Ukrainian media, ten countries have already supported Ukraine’s request: the Czech Republic, Montenegro, Estonia, Canada, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, North Macedonia and Slovakia. The Ukrainian army has been re-arming since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when it gradually switches from Soviet-era weapons to NATO standards. Kyiv’s ambitions to join NATO were one of Moscow’s pretexts for the February invasion of Ukraine, wrote the British news station Sky News.
