Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has said the country must accept it can’t ever join Nato. Speaking to representatives of the UK-led Joint Expeditionary Force, JEF, via video link on Tuesday, March 15, 2022, he said: “Ukraine is not a member of Nato. We understand that.
“We have heard for years that the doors were open, but we also heard that we could not join. It’s a truth and it must be recognised.”
The Ukrainian leader also warned other European nations they could be targeted by Russia as he urged them to help his country.
Meanwhile, a Russian TV editor who protested the war in Ukraine live on air, has been fined 30,000 roubles (£215) by a Russian court, according to reports.
Marina Ovsyannikova was charged with the “organisation of an unauthorised public event”, various Russian media outlets said on Tuesday. It came after the Channel One employee held up a sign behind a studio presenter, who was reading the news on Monday night, and shouted slogans condemning Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
