Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy invited the former German Chancellor to look at the mass graves, saying they were the result of her decision not to allow Ukraine to join NATO.

Zelenskyy made his comments in a Sunday address to the nation after shocking reports and images emerged of mass civilian casualties in a suburb of Kyiv.

Zelenskyy accused Russia of genocide and 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611

Under optimistic diplomatic statements that Ukraine could become a member of NATO, then, in 2008, refusal to accept Ukraine into the alliance was hidden. Zelenskyy said that the fear of politicians toward Russia was hidden.

He said that they thought they would be able to appease Russia if they refused to accept Ukraine.

I invite Mrs. Merkel and Mr. Sarkozy to see what the policy of concessions to Russia has done. They wanted to see the tortured Ukrainian men and women.

NATO leaders discussed requests by Georgia and Ukraine to join the Membership Action Plan during the 2008 summit.

Germany and France argued that giving the MAP to both countries would cause more problems with Russia.

According to an official summary of the talks, the alliance did not take any immediate action but promised that Georgia and Ukraine would eventually become NATO members. They repeated this promise at a NATO summit in July of 2021.

Russia has continued to oppose the eastward expansion of NATO, and used it as a reason to invade Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.

Zelenskyy told Western officials that it was clear that Ukraine was not a member of NATO. We understand this.

During peace negotiations with Russia, the Ukrainian government offered to never join NATO.
