Nato Told Us That It's Doors Are Opened. But We Are Still Not Allowed In by olugabbie(op): 7:12am On Feb 21, 2022
The Ukrainian President told CNN that NATO partners needed to clarify a timeline on which the country could join the military alliance.

"Ukraine needs security guarantees," Zelensky said. "We are smart people, we are not narrow minded. We understand there are lots of different risks because of NATO, there is no consensus around other allies, everyone is saying there is some distance that we need to go between Ukraine and NATO that we need to walk. All we are saying is tell us how much time does it take to complete this distance?"

In earlier remarks to the conference, Zelensky posed a question asking why Ukraine had not been permitted to join NATO. "We are told the doors are open.. but the strangers are still not allowed," he said.

Moscow sees the growing support for Ukraine from NATO -- in terms of weaponry, training and personnel -- as a threat to its own security. Putin has also called for specific legal agreements that would rule out any further NATO expansion eastwards towards Russia's borders, saying the West has not lived up to its previous verbal assurances.

NATO is simply being skeptical cos of Russia... The alliance between Russia and China is really a big merger that even NATO or UN forces are weary of
