Ukraine is already a 2 year extended member by the help is systematically given, even not yet officially.
At the 75th NATO anniversary Ukraine asks: NATO membership as soon as practical, less than 2 years, 128 (one hundreid and twnty eight in case you did not read well in numbers) F-16 jets, a massive push to Poland to create No-fly-zone in Poland and West of Ukraine and the veto to strike in Russian territory from all members with their given weapons. He could not ask for such ridiculous requests if he was only in the situation of being defeated in warfare that he could avoid if accepted negotiations. He “luckily” had been a victim of terrorist aggression as his enemy apparently stroke on a children’s hospital, an urgency that is more ungentized by the UN council that incriminates without proper evidence as well.
The UN council that proved to favor the arguable decision in the Ukrainian favor with a foggy highly “likely-hood”, not clear certitude, proved also that is a tool in some favored nations hands.
He did not get the 128 F-16, though, and not all NATO members agreed to allow Ukraine to use their weapons to attack Russia. Ukraine will get some air defense systems (parts of Patriot System from here and there), bilateral agreements, promises, and Poland is yet to decide if they want to escalate tension with Russia allowing the requested No-Fly-Zone or not. But Mr. Zelensky visited Poland just before the NATO meeting and could have negotiated there the NO-Fly-Zone. In Poland was made a 40 points agreement, no.14 being the “Polish authorities to encourage Ukrainian immigrants on Polish Territory to return back to Ukraine for service in the Army”. The Ukrainian leader was allowed to initiate a Legion Unit that recruits volunteers that want to fight for the Ukrainian cause, especially from Poland and Germany, and these Legion operatives would be trained in Poland. But apparently Mr Zelensky had already too much on the begging list and left some for the NATO meeting.
To be noted how Mr Zelensky changed the green T-shirt for the black one.
The Russian authorities did not make any comments on “The Ukraine’s Future Is In NATO” flaunted today because the NATO granted possible full membership in 2034. The Russian authorities aknowledged the fact that Ukraine will have to redefine its war outcome as “victory” which will not be the 1991 borders in anyway, but may mean temporary hopes for NATO membership. Vladimit Putin really makes efforts to help Mr Zelensky’s image to look like is getting something our of this conflict and also did not make any rude or accusing remarks previous weeks when Ukraine started discussion to Eu membership ascension. Turkye is in this kind of discussions for more than 10 years, so time is one of the event’s ingredients for success.
Mr Zelensky had a speech and stressed urgency for help and measures before November 2024 but he trusts that whoever the new US president would be after November elections, this new president would not drop Project Ukraine, althogh, he warked already with Trump and he knows that Trump is not really a “war man”. In his vision, Trump is not sensitive to his warfare needs.
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reminded Western leaders in his speech on Tuesday that their values were being trampled upon in Gaza, too.
“Erdogan clearly said in his speech: What happened to your Western values in Gaza?,”
“In the eyes of the whole world, there is a massacre going on in Gaza,” he said, but NATO has largely ignored this, focusing instead on Ukraine.
