"If we believe in the strength of NATO, then if Estonia, God forbid, faces any risks, there are more than 30 countries that, in my view, should simultaneously defend any country that is a NATO ally. And, frankly, if Ukraine joins NATO, it will benefit all countries that are already in NATO because there will be less risk of Russia launching aggression against another NATO country, as NATO will include a country with a strong army," the head of state said during a press conference with Estonian President Alar Karis.
"And this is dangerous for Russia. But as long as we are not in NATO, we are not in NATO," Zelenskyy added.
Meanwhile, the Estonian leader noted that Ukraine is an integral part of Europe and that accession to the European Union and NATO is "not a distant dream of the Ukrainian people, but a fully justified expectation."
