“Our course towards NATO membership, the principles and standards of the alliance underlie all the guiding documents in the field of national security and defense,” Zelensky quoted TASS as saying.

Earlier it was reported that Zelensky met in New York with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

In a conversation with him, the Ukrainian leader asked to further increase the presence of the fleets of the alliance countries in the Black Sea.

Also, the President of Ukraine announced that he did not plan to change the schedule of meetings in New York due to the assassination attempt on his assistant Sergei Shefir in the Kiev region.
