KYIV, Jan 11 – President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on NATO to show path for Ukraine’s accession to the alliance that would be a powerful motivation for the country’s defenders to defeat Russia in the war.

"The decision of NATO members to accelerate the integration of Ukraine into the Alliance would be most effective and in line with reality and our defense potential, as was the case with Sweden and Finland," he said at a press conference following talks with the presidents of Poland and Lithuania in Lviv on Wednesday.
