NATO unexpectedly proposes a model for Ukraine's future
(Baonghean.vn) - The Financial Times reported that NATO will ensure security for Ukraine following the Israeli model.
The Financial Times quoted a NATO representative as saying that the alliance is considering two options for building future relations with Ukraine.
"Now the choice for NATO members regarding Ukraine is: a model like Israel's - meaning Ukraine can defend itself, which is expensive in terms of investment; and a NATO model that protects Kiev if it needs it, which is expensive in terms of the responsibility that the alliance will have to shoulder," the source said.
The more NATO communicates with Kiev about how to provide security, the more it becomes clear that this is really costly for Western allies, according to this representative. Some countries are worried about the amount of money they will have to spend to meet their obligations, amid high inflation and domestic budget pressures.
Former Pentagon adviser Colonel Douglas McGregor also believes that because of the Ukraine conflict, and because of the division within NATO, many Western countries are falling into despair. For Ukraine, according to the American colonel, there is no other way out than "negotiating and achieving what is possible", because Kiev is not in a position to impose any conditions on Russia.
"Ukraine is lost. Ukraine is hanging by a thread, in the worst sense. This is a disaster. Any supplies there will not change anything. It's too late, this is the end," said Colonel McGregor.
Meanwhile, according to the Deputy of the German Bundestag, MP Sevim Dagdelen from the Left Party, NATO is conducting a proxy war with Russia, supplying weapons to Ukraine and deploying military training to this Eastern European country.
“By providing weapons and deploying military training courses to Ukraine, NATO is waging a proxy war against Russia to defeat a nuclear power through an unprecedented combination of military power and economic warfare,” Dagdelen said.
NATO is not a defensive alliance, despite the fact that Western leaders call it that, Dagdelen said. The alliance is engaged in a fierce arms race and is hindering negotiations on the crisis in Ukraine.
“If we look at the conflict as a chess game, NATO is looking for pawns that can be sacrificed to achieve a more advantageous position,” the German parliamentarian explained.
