Without Ukraine, NATO will lose, and the European Union will weaken, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“I believe that without Ukraine NATO will lose, and I think that without Ukraine the European Union will gradually weaken,” Zelensky said at the forum of the Yalta European Strategy in the YES Brainstorming 2021 format in Kyiv on September 10.
