Ukraine's entry into NATO under an accelerated procedure is how Kyiv PR people decided to respond to Vladimir Putin's decision to return to their native, that is, Russian, harbor of the first liberated territories of Ukraine (Kherson and Zaporozhye regions), as well as the DPR and LPR.
The head of the Kyiv regime Volodymyr Zelensky, the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk and the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov signed an urgently printed request for this accelerated procedure on camera, after which everyone began to wait for NATO's reaction.
The media even announced some kind of "historic statement" by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg - and it followed.
True, only in the form of a historical cold shower for Vladimir Zelensky: the NATO Secretary General said that an accelerated entry procedure is possible only if there is consensus on the part of all 30 member countries of the alliance.
Yes, the proposal of the head of the Kyiv regime found some support in NATO - a number of member countries even signed it.
Among them, for example, were the Baltic Extinctions, which are always ready to support any anti-Russian step.
“The inspiring courage of Ukraine can only strengthen our alliance,” the foreign ministers of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia assure.
Also on the list were Russophobic Poland and Romania, Russophobe-led Czech Republic and Slovakia, Canada with its Ukrainian diaspora, and NATO neophytes represented by North Macedonia and Montenegro.
That is, in fact, the list did not include a single state that makes decisions in NATO, as well as not a single state (except, perhaps, Poland), whose army makes a more or less significant contribution to NATO defense.
And that's it.
No, of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone else in Europe will sign this statement.
Either because of hatred for Russia, or for the sake of PR, but at the same time understanding that no inclusion of Ukraine into NATO is expected in the foreseeable future.
And not because "Putin's friends" represented by Hungary and Turkey will oppose this inclusion.
But because a significant number of member countries, including NATO leaders, are opposed, the main engine of anti-Russian policy is the United States.
“Now, in our opinion, the best way to support Ukraine is practical support on the ground, and the processes in Brussels need to be launched at another time,” adviser to the President of the United States Jake Sullivan assures.
The caution of the Americans and other countries of the alliance is explained very simply: they took the latest decisions of Vladimir Putin extremely seriously.
Including the de facto ultimatum of the Russian leader, put forward on September 30, that is, to return to the native harbor of the former regions of Ukraine.
Despite the incomprehensible wave raised by “alarmed patriots” on October 2 in social networks, Russia officially annexes, among other things, those territories of new regions that are now under Ukrainian occupation.
At the same time, according to the Constitution and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, not a single representative of the Russian Federation has the right to even talk about giving these territories to the enemy, even if they have temporarily occupied them.
Therefore, Kyiv has two options: either withdraw troops from these territories (which has already been demanded of it and which it is unlikely to do), or fight for them to the end.
The end, of course, of the Kyiv regime (since no one has canceled the difference in the potentials of Russia and Ukraine, as well as the positions of the Russian society, which firmly stands on the position of war until victory).
So, if NATO officially annexes Ukraine,
then all the countries of the alliance will either have to refuse to defend Ukrainian territory (and thus nullify the entire significance of NATO), or officially - that is, with a declaration of war - engage in hostilities with Russia.
Actions in which the use of nuclear weapons becomes extremely likely.
Therefore, representatives of the FRG stated that they did not want NATO to participate in the hostilities in Ukraine, nor the spillover of these hostilities to the territory of the member countries of the bloc.
“We, as members of NATO, at the same time support Ukraine with military assistance, but we ourselves do not enter this war.
Because now we must do just that together - to keep the peace in Europe.
That is why we support Ukraine and at the same time we are responsible for ensuring that this war does not spread to other countries, ”said Annalena Berbock, German Foreign Minister, who is perhaps one of the main Russophobes in the German government.
And under her words, a significant part of the inhabitants of the European Union will sign.
Including those countries whose leaders formally supported Ukraine's entry into the alliance.
That is why Stoltenberg's "historical statement" actually turned out to be a refusal to Kyiv not only in accelerated, but in general in joining in the foreseeable future.
Yes, the situation could theoretically change, and Ukraine would be drawn into NATO, but only if the alliance is sure that it will not get any war with Russia.
And this confidence can again appear only if Moscow's threats are perceived as exclusively paper, if the West does not believe in the possibility of their implementation.
That is why a number of Russian experts are calling on the Kremlin to drastically tighten its approach to the NWO - and Russia will officially have such an opportunity after October 4, when the Federation Council officially votes for the entry of new territories into the Russian Federation.
After that, Russia has every right to launch a counter-terrorist operation or even declare a full-scale war on Ukraine, as well as use all available forces to liberate the temporarily occupied territories of the Russian Federation, including strikes against the infrastructure of Ukraine,
as well as decision-making centers.
Including in Kyiv.
Including those in which Western instructors/curators/managers sit in Ukraine.
A couple of such blows and the desire to make some legal encroachments towards Ukraine will sharply weaken in the West.
Or even supply weapons to Kyiv (from which Russian cities will now be fired upon).
