Ukraine formally applies for fast-track NATO membership
![]()
Ukraine has formally applied for NATO membership under an accelerated procedure, President Volodymyr Zelensky said after Russia added four Ukrainian regions to its soil.
“Today, Ukraine is submitting an application to do this de jure... We are taking our decisive step by signing Ukraine’s application for accelerated membership in NATO,” the Ukrainian leader said via Telegram.
The development came soon after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree for the formal accession of four regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia to Russia, after people in these regions voted in favor of joining the Russian Federation in a referendum.
However, Zelensky said the votes breached international law and called the referendums “worthless.”
“Donbas is and will be Ukrainian. This is our land, our people. We will never give ours to the occupiers,” he said.
“De facto, we have already made our way to NATO. De facto, we have already proven our compatibility with the alliance’s standards. They are real for Ukraine – real on the battlefield and in all aspects of our cooperation,” Zelensky wrote.

Hands up- who wants to die for Zelensky's desire to be American ?
Your friends and family too, of course- and your cat, dog and goldfish.
