Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Kyiv on Thursday.
Addressing a joint news conference with Stoltenberg, Zelenskyy said it was time for NATO to take the political decision to invite Ukraine to join the military alliance, and that Kyiv wanted to know when it would become a member.
The Ukrainian leader added that a NATO summit in Vilnius in July could become "historic," and that he had been invited to attend.
Ukraine's future lies in NATO, Stoltenberg said during his first visit to Ukraine.
Stoltenberg pledged continued military support for Ukraine, saying that, so far, NATO allies had trained tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops and provided 65 billion euros ($71.31 billion) of military aid alone.
"NATO stands with you today, tomorrow and for as long as it takes," Stoltenberg stated, before inviting Zelenskyy to the NATO summit in Vilnius in July.
