President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in New York.
The Head of State praised the significant long-term efforts to support Ukraine during Jens Stoltenberg’s tenure as NATO Secretary General.
“Thank you very much for your support. Your team worked hard together, and I think we have achieved a lot of various, very important results, especially during the war. You – as well as some other allies – helped to unite the world, including defense ministers, in helping Ukraine, in strengthening our army,” the President said.
He also thanked for the last two NATO Summits, which brought Ukraine closer to the Alliance. Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of timely implementation of all the agreements reached at the NATO Washington Summit. In particular, for member states to realize their commitments on the allocation of 40 billion euros for the next year.
Among the main topics of discussion were the need to enhance Ukraine’s air defense, including the expedited delivery of additional systems, and the continued efforts on an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO as soon as possible.
