Zelenskyy says Ukraine joining NATO just a 'matter of time'

KYIV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that his country would eventually become a member of NATO as he welcomed the chief of the Western security bloc, Jens Stoltenberg, to Kyiv.

"(It is) a matter of time before Ukraine becomes a de jure member of the alliance. We are doing everything to bring this time closer," Zelenskyy said at a joint press conference with the NATO chief.
