Ukrainian President urged the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to speed up his country’s membership in the alliance.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is an intergovernmental military alliance between 30 European and North American countries.
NATO constitutes a system of collective defence whereby its independent member states agree to mutual defence in response to an attack by any external party.
NATO’s Headquarters are located in Haren, Brussels, Belgium, while the headquarters of Allied Command Operations is near Mons, Belgium.
NATO’s protection does not extend to members’ civil wars or internal coups.
