Nato summit: Allies refuse to give Ukraine timeframe on joining

[Social Media]

 

Nato states have said Ukraine can join the military alliance "when allies agree and conditions are met" after President Volodymyr Zelensky criticised the "absurd" delay to accession.

In a communique, Nato said it recognised the need to move faster but would not be drawn on a timeframe.

Earlier Mr Zelensky said there seemed to be "no readiness" to invite Ukraine to Nato or make it a member.

He is now in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, where the summit is happening.

Kyiv accepts it cannot join Nato while it is at war with Russia but wants to join as soon as possible after fighting ends.

But Mr Zelensky, tweeting before Mr Stoltenberg's comments, said that the lack of an agreed timeframe meant his country's eventual membership could become a bargaining chip.

 

"A window of opportunity is being left to bargain Ukraine's membership in Nato in negotiations with Russia. Uncertainty is weakness," he said.

Maybe in your head but not any one else.

 

NATO’s door remains open to any European country in a position to undertake the commitments and obligations of membership, and contribute to security in the Euro-Atlantic area.

My thoughts always reflect that Ukraine is being used and it will continue to be used for as long as necessary by NATO.

I guess you know better than the Ukrainians whether or not they are being used. Even ethnic Russian Ukrainians have overwhelmingly turned against Russia.

Because the people of Ukraine are the best judges of whether or not they are being used and whether or not what is being done is in their self interest.

What are they using Ukraine for? Just another ridiculous conspiracy theory. Non NATO countries also give direct military aid to Ukraine, what are they using Ukraine for?

Your bargaining chip didn't work so well when Zelensky offered it to Putin, weeks after he started his 'Special Operation'.

You know, and I know this is how it works, and always have worked for empires and alliance's, because we need to secure the borders against our enemies and also the need to control available resources. Same for Russia who trying to secure their future position as a growing economic with available resources who feel they have been controlled, suppressed and limited for quite long now! 

 

Aand of course it is a chess game with to many players. 

 

When Turkey managed to become a member, anything is possible! 

 

Turkey a very much needed buffer against middle east!

Not really, which Middle Eastern country is going to invade or start a war against any NATO country. They didn't need Turkey and should toss them out (I know they can't). Wile ever any country doesn't have free and fair elections it shouldn't. be part of NATO or the EU.

Do you believe it is a coincidence there is so many refugees coming to europe, and there is no long term strategy behind it?

You understand it is a plan with refugees to destabilize europe, and it is a concern also for Nato, as most europeen countries is Nato members.

 

Russia have pushed Syrian and Ukraine refugees on the run in to Europe, + all other conflicted areas where also Russia, Saudi and partners from our own allies also taking part either directly or supporting one side of the conflicts.

Oh, no, no more conspiracy theories. It couldn't possible just be refugees fleeing war and poverty could it? We need to find some proxy excuse to hate refugees and you're right there on the band wagon.

Refugees from the middle east are nothing to do with the invasion of Ukraine. I don't know where you're going with this. There is no master plan to push refugees to destabilize the EU. Stop insulting our intelligence with conspiracy theories. Please. Or prove your allegation with a credible link as required by the rules here which are intended to prevent tripe like this being posted.

Just because a consequence of these wars is mass exodus of refugees doesn't mean what you're claiming isn't nonsense. The Assad regime, a strong ally of Russia, was threatened with being overthrown.  Putin's obsession with restoring Russia's glorious past and empire is clearly the explanation for the war in Ukraine. Just because one of the benefits from Russia's point of view of these wars is mass emigration doesn't prove that was the motive for them.

Good that they have fudged the decision and not given in to Zelenskey's incessant, never- ending demands. After all, it was the expansion of NATO eastwards that helped create this mess.

I'm surprised Zelensky even went there. It's a NATO rule not to let anyone in who has unsettled borders disputes or ongoing conflict. Meantime, Poland is apparently prepared to lead troops into Ukraine.

Your lack of reading available credible news, articles, intelligence reports, war strategies and also understand long term impact innthe region where it is conflicts, neighboring countries, and those who ends up with a problem that requires larger resources and support! 

 

You didnt even bother to look at the links did you?

No need to explain why this world is ruled by short term voters and cheap sale arguments. 

 

Why Im not surprised, when people do not understand organized chaos, is a weapon, weapon of strategy filled with emotions, same as the very same is surprised Ukraine was invaded, even history of other neighboring countries.

There is a need to explain, with credible links. You made a claim that there is a conspiracy to send middle eastern refugees to Europe to destabilise it and that this conspiracy was the cause of the war in Ukraine. Now back that up or concede that it's untrue. You can't peddle this kind of drivel without backing it up.

From the persistent way he's asking for aid, you'd think Ukraine was at war and not just hosting a special military operation.

You made it a conspiracy because lack of credible sources, and not willing to see it from another perspective, or willing to do an effort to prove me wrong and the sources posted. Thats just a few of many available.
