Aleksey Pushkov, a member of the Federation Council, said that the plan to accept Ukraine piecemeal into NATO reflects the plight of Western supporters who support Ukraine’s admission to the alliance. the senator declared it telegraph channel.
The Senator called such thinking “strange” and reflects extreme confusion in the Western alliance. For Pushkov, even such an incredible admission of Ukraine into NATO would mean that the North Atlantic Alliance would have to go to war on the side of Kiev anyway, or sign that it failed to meet its obligations to Ukraine as a member. And that means admitting your incompetence.
The Senator believes that in such a scenario, which aims to avoid the issue of lands in which Kiev has lost control, the West falls into another unavoidable trap. “The essence of it can be expressed by the formula, ‘it is impossible to refuse to fight,’” said Pushkov. Regardless of where the NATO leadership places a comma in this formula, both decisions are unacceptable to NATO in the event of Kiev’s membership in the North Atlantic Alliance.
Pushkov therefore believes that all this seems like a doomed and desperate attempt to somehow push Ukraine into an alliance. In the conditions of a military conflict, such a scenario is not possible, as it puts NATO in front of an impossible choice.
