The Council of Ukraine and NATO will be created, but without granting membership to Kiev – Guantanamo Radio

The Council of Ukraine and NATO would allow that former Soviet republic to participate in the business of that alliance on an equal footing with its 30 other members, at the discretion of Stoltenberg, whose commitment to extending that organization Russia firmly rejects.

And Moscow warned that the expansion of NATO directly towards its borders, as well as the deployment of its forces and means of combat in neighboring countries, constitute a direct threat to its national security.

And the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) began last Monday, with almost all of it in Germany, the largest maneuver of its air forces since the end of World War II, Air Defender 23, with the participation of more than 220 aircraft from 22 countries, including 100 Americans.

Such actions, amid calls by Kiev to increase military aid from the West, including shipments of F-16 fighter jets, are escalating tensions in the region amid the conflict in Ukraine.

On February 24, 2022, President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a military operation to protect the rebellious population of the Donbass region, which denounced Kiev’s eight years of genocide.

In this regard, Stoltenberg, who participated here in a meeting with the foreign ministers of the bloc, considered that the main thing now is to achieve victory for Ukraine in the confrontation, referring to the rearmament of that country, which Russia estimates will only lead to an extension. from hostilities.

However, instead of announcing, as Kiev wanted, some possibility of applying a fast track to entering NATO, the supreme leader of that bloc referred only to the shipment of weapons, ammunition and spare parts for the method of warfare.

Recently, the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, denounced that by supplying Ukraine with heavy weapons, including tanks, missiles and intelligence, NATO is participating almost directly in the confrontation.
