Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into NATO leaders, including President Biden, for not extending NATO membership to Ukraine.
The Ukrainian president arrived in Vilnius Tuesday afternoon and delivered a speech alongside Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda arguing for his country’s inclusion.
Shortly before Zelensky’s fiery tweet, Biden said during a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg that “we agree on the language that you propose, relative to the future of Ukraine being able to join NATO. And we’re looking for a continued united NATO.” It also said: “Allies will continue to support and review Ukraine’s progress on interoperability as well as additional democratic and security sector reforms that are required.”
“We’re determined to commit every inch of territory that is NATO territory,” Biden noted. “If the war is going on, then we’re all in war. We’re at war with Russia, if that were the case.” Sen. Dick Durbin said, “This man is facing a greater burden every day than I can possibly imagine. It’s been going on for a year and a half, he’s done an extraordinary job and he’s under pressure. There has to be a lot of stress.”
