According to the statements of the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmitro Kuleba, for his country not to be admitted to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) once the war has ended would be suicidal.
Minister Kuleba asked the Government of Germany, chaired by Olaf Scholz, not to take the same path as Angela Merkel in 2008, when she offered strong resistance against any progress on the path of Ukraine’s entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. “After the war it would be suicidal for Europe not to accept Ukraine as a NATO member,” said the Ukrainian minister.
Ukraine’s admission to the alliance would be the path to peace, by discouraging Moscow from future wars, and would not lead to even greater conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called last week for all NATO member states to accept the invaded country when the war is over, despite the fact that the Russian government would strongly disagree.
According to the President of Ukraine, the signatory countries of the military cooperation treaty must “stop looking at the Kremlin” when making decisions regarding the Ukrainians. “Ukraine’s entry into NATO will be a powerful signal to the world that this is an alliance that protects and will continue to protect,” Zelensky said during a speech in the Ukrainian parliament.
During the course of this month, the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom Government, James Cleverly, announced that his country would support entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg acknowledged that at the next summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, there will be no formal invitation for Ukraine to join the Alliance and also that the purpose is to maintain support for Kiev for as long as necessary. .
