'You too Brutus!' Zelensky's life time shock over NATO proposal
‘Give Russia land for membership!’ This is what Ukraine does not like about NATO. The amity appears to be more of a bargain.
Close fraternity was seen in case of Russia and Ukraine once upon a time during the Soviet Union. The city of Kyiv used to play the friend-philosopher-guide role in the relations between the two countries. But when the Soviet Union disintegrated, the trust was also broken in such a way that Russia attacked Ukraine only because it might become a puppet in the hands of NATO. Russia was afraid that if Ukraine becomes a member of NATO, then NATO’s nuclear weapons would come to its door.
Russia is already surrounded by NATO countries Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. In such a situation, if Ukraine also goes to NATO, then there would be a big threat to the security of Russia. Then Ukraine was attacked and more unfortunately the war continued. Zelinsky seems to be determined not to stop the war, so Russia is also not leaving its adamancy.
Although, Ukraine has applied for the membership of NATO, but it has not yet received full confidence from NATO. But in the midst of all this, there has been a big ruckus regarding NATO membership for Ukraine. The Chief of Staff of NATO, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has suggested to Ukrainian officials that if Ukraine agrees to give some part its land to Russia, then it will get NATO membership. This will also help the ongoing war with Russia to end.
Significantly, this suggestion was not made by none other than, Stian Jenssen, the Director of the Private Office of the NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg.
This statement of NATO has added fuel to the fire. Ukraine has furiously said that this condition can never be accepted. However, Stian has apologized for his statement.. He argues that this was just an initial suggestion, which is up to Ukraine to believe or not.
However, when Russia invaded Ukraine, it had also occupied many of its areas.. However, some of these areas have been liberated by the Ukrainian army.. But now Ukraine wants to redefine its border.. That too was the situation before 2014. That means Ukraine now wants to liberate Crimea again.
