NATO unexpectedly presents a model for the future of Ukraine.
(Baonghean.vn) - The Financial Times reports that NATO will guarantee Ukraine's security based on 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, NATO members have two choices regarding Ukraine: a model like Israel's – meaning Ukraine can defend itself, which is costly in terms of investment; and a NATO model where it defends Kyiv if it needs to, which is costly in terms of the responsibility the alliance will have to bear," the source said.
According to this representative, the more NATO communicates with Kyiv about security arrangements, the clearer it becomes that this is actually costly for Western allies. Some countries are worried about the amount of money they will have to spend to meet their obligations, in the context of rising inflation and domestic budgetary pressures.
Former Pentagon adviser, Colonel Douglas McGregor, also argued that because of the Ukraine conflict and the divisions within NATO, many Western countries are falling into despair. For Ukraine, according to the American colonel, there is no other way out than to "negotiate and achieve what can be achieved," as Kyiv is not in a position to impose any conditions on Russia.
"Ukraine is lost. Ukraine is hanging in the balance, in the worst sense. This is a catastrophe. Any supplies there will not change anything. It's too late, this is the end," Colonel McGregor said.
Meanwhile, according to the Deputy Speaker of the German Bundestag, MP Sevim Dagdelen from the Left Party, NATO is waging a proxy war with Russia, supplying weapons to Ukraine and providing military training to the 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 stated.
According to Dagdelen, NATO is not a defensive alliance, despite the fact that this is how Western leaders call it. The alliance is engaged in a fierce arms race and is hindering negotiations on the crisis in Ukraine.
"If we view the conflict as a game of chess, then NATO is looking for pawns that can be sacrificed to gain a more advantageous position," the German lawmaker explained.
