Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday he held a phone conversation with Secretary-General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Jens Stoltenberg to discuss Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration.

 

Zelensky said he coordinated further steps with Stoltenberg on Ukraine's path toward integration with NATO.

 

Separately, Stoltenberg tweeted that NATO will sustain and step up support for Ukraine for "as long as it takes."

 

On Sept. 30, Zelensky said that Ukraine would apply for membership in NATO under an accelerated procedure.
