The United States of America, Hungary, Slovakia and Germany opposed Ukraine's accession to NATO.

As reported by the unian.net correspondent, this was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during statements for the media with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer . The Ukrainian leader also noted that this information is no longer a secret:
