President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky indicated that “a telephone conversation was held with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in order to agree on further steps towards Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration” and noted that “I am in constant contact with partners.” strategists.”

On Tuesday, Zelensky signed a decree declaring the decision to annex Ukraine’s regions to Russia “null and void.”

And on Friday, the President of Ukraine announced that his country had applied for NATO membership under the accelerated procedure.

According to the decree, Russia’s annexation of regions of Ukraine, starting with Crimea in 2014, and even Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, has been considered invalid in recent days.

On September 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a document that included Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Ukrainian Zaporozhye, which caused widespread rejection and condemnation from the West.

Russian authorities have taken control of four regions following a military attack launched by its army in February, followed by international rejection and economic sanctions against Moscow that require Kyiv to abandon plans to join military formations and maintain neutrality, which the latter considers “interventions” to its sovereignty in order to terminate it.
