President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky plans to put the issue of Ukraine’s joining NATO to the all-Ukrainian referendum after the conduct of a broad information campaign.

President made a corresponding statement on the air of Ukrainian 1+1 TV channel live from Brussels when asked whether his confirmation of Ukraine’s path towards EU and NATO may further complicate talks with Russia.

“First and foremost, we are the independent country, and this is our choice, this is our path towards Europe and NATO, and this is enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine,” Zelensky said.

He added that the path of Ukraine towards NATO means, above all, the security of the country and the high level of our army.

“I said that we should inform every Ukrainian what NATO is, that it’s not so scary. And when all Ukrainians are ready, we will definitely put this issue to a referendum, and Ukraine will definitely be in NATO,” Zelensky said.
