 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 6 called on NATO leaders to take concrete steps towards Ukrainian membership at a summit next week and he received support during a visit to Prague from the Czech president, who backed Kiev's bid to join the alliance. Ukraine wants to join as quickly as possible, but NATO members have been divided over how fast that step should be taken. Some member countries are wary of moves they fear could take the alliance closer to an active war with Russia. The Czech Republic, a NATO member, has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine since the invasion in February 2022, supplying military aid and other help. I understand that it may be difficult to deal with this or that. At the same time, the position of Ukraine will also be strengthened by the fact that NATO's first joint meeting will be held within the NATO-Ukrainian Council. Ukraine will sit down on NATO as equal and equal and the communication between NATO and Ukraine will be at a completely different level. Thank you.
