Ukraine Admits It Won’t Be Part Of NATO by nurudeen181(m): 6:42pm On Mar 15, 2022 |
NATO allies don’t want to see Ukraine among their ranks and Kiev
realizes that, President Volodymyr Zelensky told Western leaders
on Tuesday. Now Kiev seeks protection from individual member
states.
“We’ve been hearing for years that the [NATO] doors were
supposedly open, but now we know we won’t enter there. That is the
truth, and we must acknowledge that,” Zelensky said during a video
call with the UK Joint Expeditionary Force, a meeting of the leaders
of Nordic and Baltic nations hosted by Prime Minister Boris
Johnson.
“I am glad that our people are beginning to understand that and to
rely on ourselves and those partners that aid us,” he added.
The Ukrainian leader apparently included the people he was
addressing on the list of good friends of Ukraine, despite most of
them leading NATO allies. He said the military organization was in
no position to offer the security guarantees that his country wants
to receive from other nations. But individual states could help
Ukraine even with NATO doors closed to it, he suggested, and have
been doing so for eight years of what he described as a Ukrainian
war against Russia.
Zelensky shamed NATO for not imposing a no-fly zone over
Ukraine due to concerns that this would escalate the hostilities into
a full-blown world war. The refusal to impose it is shared by all
members of the organization, with US, its de facto leader,
reiterating it on many occasions over the past weeks.
The Ukrainian leader claimed NATO member states “hypnotized
themselves” with the fear of a global conflict that would have the
potential of ending human civilization. He didn’t hide bitterness
over the fact that allies refused to protect Ukraine the way they are
bound to defend each other in case of a military attack.
Ukraine made NATO membership a key goal of its foreign policy
after the 2014 armed coup in Kiev put an anti-Russian government
into power. The aspiration was made part of its national
constitution in 2019.
Russia launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February.
President Vladimir Putin stated that NATO’s creeping expansion
into Ukraine without its formal accession was a major factor in his
decision to order the incursion. Kiev blasted the attack as
“unprovoked.”
Western nations mostly agreed but refused to fight for Ukraine
militarily. Instead, they ramped up weapons supplies to Kiev and
imposed harsh economic sanctions against Russia, expecting them
to inflict enough damage to stop the military offensive. |
