Zelensky on possible military support for Baltic states in event of Russian attack: Ukraine is not in NATO

During a meeting with Estonian President Alar Karis in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was asked about potential military support for the Baltic states in the event of a Russian attack. Zelensky clarified that Ukraine is not a member of NATO, while Estonia is. He emphasized that if there were any risks to Estonia, more than 30 countries should defend any NATO ally simultaneously.

Zelensky also expressed his belief that it would be beneficial for the Alliance to have Ukraine as a member, stating that it would reduce risks of aggression against other NATO countries and pose a danger to Russia.
