Europe must protect its own security by helping Ukraine defend itself against Russia, he said: “So we are all targets of Russia and everything will be against Europe if Ukraine doesn’t fight back. That’s why we want you ask to help yourself by helping us. You know what kind of weapons we need. Everyone knows, you know what kind of defenses we need. You know what we need, the fighter jets, and would be without your support it very difficult.” Selenskyi initially renounced his country’s NATO membership. There is currently no open door for this.
