On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg in Kyiv.
The meeting between both officials as Ukraine is still seeking more support from the west during its war against Russia.
Zelensky said in a joint press conference with the NATO Chief: "(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."
