Ukraine’s top security official says his country hopes to become a United States ally, implying the wish to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO.
Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council spoke to NHK in Kyiv.
In the interview, he said ties with the United States are strong, referring to the meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Joe Biden in Washington in December.
Danilov said that he is confident that the United States will never abandon Ukraine, as his country has proven itself to be trustworthy.
He also said there is a big difference between being a partner and an allied nation.
Danilov said “it would be much easier for his country to fight with Russia which is a menace to the whole entire civilized world as an ally.”
He went on to say that the whole civilized world should be on Ukraine’s side as his country is fighting not only for itself but also for democracy and freedom.
Danilov also hinted at the continued targeting of military bases in Russia by saying ” there will be no limit to destroying the enemy’s military facilities if it is deemed necessary.”
Russia’s defense ministry said the attacks on Russian military’s airbases in December have been carried out by Ukrainian drones.
