Well, at least if their NATO entrance is granted, Putin will have to stop being an asshole and attacking Ukraine as it would mean he wants direct confrontation with the West, and in Russia already people are fleeing, think what happens if he dares declare war.
People are gonna say that Ukraine joining NATO now is impossible, because it would lead to a global war.
But what NATO could do and which would make total sense in the current context is tell to Russia something along the following lines.
‘OK, so you have now claimed what you want to have by the end of the war. We see this as evidence that you are not wanting Kyiv or Odesa anymore, meaning that starting from now, NATO covers everything in Ukraine outside of these oblasts you have just named, and outside of Crimea that you previously took. Any missile strike, drone attack or whatever against Lviv, Kharviv or Dnipro or wherever outside the so-called landbridge will be seen as a strike against Houston, Bratislava or Dijon. As for the rest of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Army will happily keep routing you.’
I think this is not unreasonable in any way. 🇺🇲🇪🇺🇨🇦🇬🇧✊🇺🇦
I’m thinking a pragmatic way of ending this conflict is for Ukraine to recognise the Russian occupation of their territories on the condition that Ukraine is admitted to Nato and therefore under the US nuclear umbrella.
I don’t think it will happen, and at any rate nobody but Ukraine can have a say on how this war will end. But it might be possible
Nice symbolism but at this point China stands a larger chance of joining NATO.
