🇺🇸🇺🇦 Full Statement from Whitcoff: Ukraine Will Not Become a NATO Member ▪️ It is “widely recognized” in the U.S. that Kyiv will not be able to join the Alliance. Even Zelensky and Yermak have acknowledged this. ➖ “Zelensky and his right-hand man, Yermak, I believe, have largely accepted... that Ukraine will not become a NATO member. There has been a lot of discussion about whether they could still receive some form of protection under Article 5. Could Ukraine, in some way, secure this from the United States or European countries without being a NATO member? I think that question remains open for discussion. But I believe it is widely recognized that Ukraine—and Russia, if a peace agreement is reached—cannot be part of NATO. I think that is largely accepted,” Whitcoff said.show more

Zelensky says he needs nuclear weapons or Nato membership to keep Russia from attacking the west. Would you support giving nuclear weapons back to Ukraine?

Russia is going to be hung with the yoke of their past forever by the sounds of this. Is Europe or the West ever going to trust them or are they always going to be the scapegoats for everything bad thats ever happened or going to happen?

FREDERIKSEN: I am still in favor of NATO membership for Ukraine, and I think we made mistake years ago when we didn’t have clear solution to this question. My hope is, and I think this will be the outcome of Ankara meeting, that we will see strong NATO support for Ukraine. There are lot of positive things going on. I still think Russia is surprised that Ukraine is still standing. And I still believe Russia is surprised by how strong and growing solidarity with Ukraine has been. This is one of our strongest weapons that Putin has not been able to divide us. I know we have faced some challenges with few countries, but in general, it’s quite remarkable that we have been able to stand together for such a long time.

I would like to remind you of several interesting factors about how Putin and Russia’s rhetoric about NATO has changed, as well as about Ukraine’s accession to NATO. In 2002, in Rome, when asked by a journalist about how Ukraine’s accession to NATO would affect relations between Russia and Ukraine, Putin replied that Ukraine is a sovereign state. And she herself has the right to freely choose her future, including the future of her security. And that Russia is not against if Ukraine and the Alliance decide that Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Now these liars are using NATO expansion as one of the reasons for their invasion. And this despite the fact that Ukraine has never been a member of this military bloc, and there were no plans to admit it there in the near future. And we all understand that all these reasons for the invasion are manipulation and lies in order to justify their aggression, terror and attempt to occupy Ukraine. Regarding the second part of the video, Putin says that NATO expansion is unacceptable in 2022. Some time later, when he is asked about Finland and Sweden joining NATO. He says he doesn't mind. NATO is the Defense Alliance. Even Article 5 of NATO implies collective security in the event of an attack on one of the Alliance countries. But this in no way obliges all NATO members to fight for a country that is itself an aggressor. Even if he is a member of NATO. Therefore, Putin’s manipulations that if Ukraine had joined NATO, it would have attacked Russia and started a war between NATO and Russia is a complete lie. Article 5 does not oblige one to fight for a side that itself is the aggressor. But only to protect a NATO member from attack and invasion by other countries. Against the backdrop of all this, all these fairy tales and Russian propaganda that Ukraine wanted to attack Russia is a lie. (I remind you that until 2014 Ukraine was not a member of NATO and there were no plans to admit it there, at least in the near future). And if Ukraine wanted to attack, why did it give up nuclear weapons? Why didn’t she carry out a massive militarization of the country, but, on the contrary, reduced the army? Why now, when the war is already going on, does Ukraine not enter Russian territory with its troops? After all, propaganda says that it was Ukraine that wanted to attack.

◾️Ukraine will become 33rd or 34th member of NATO, which currently has 32 members, the recently appointed Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, said during a press conference with journalists in Brussels. "At the moment, it seems that it will be Ukraine as number 33. But maybe somebody else pops in front of it. But Ukraine will be a member of NATO in the future. That is what we decided in Washington. So, the question is not about the timeline," said the NATO Secretary General. ◾️Sweden supports Ukraine's Victory Plan and its future membership in NATO, – Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson.

'Either Ukraine will become a member of NATO, or it will create its own' - Kuleba daydreamed. 'Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Not because Ukraine will beg for it, but because the allies will finally find it necessary, and they, after weighing all the risks, will make such a decision. Or, if within a certain period of time the Europeans become strong enough, and the Americans continue their withdrawal from Europe, and NATO in its current form ceases to exist, then some new security architecture for Europe will be built, in which Ukraine will already be an integral part and, in fact, a co-founder.' - SK

🇺🇦‼️ Zelensky answered the question of whether Russia will attack NATO countries 💬 “He does not know how to end this war without a large-scale occupation or a major victory for his society. He does not understand how to do it. It is easier for him to find some smaller country. It will not matter to him whether this country is a member of NATO or not. He wants a quick victory. Be 100% sure that he will win, occupy or destroy all authorities. And it can be any country,” the President of Ukraine said in an interview with CNN.

President Trump defends the comments from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that Ukraine will not join NATO: "I don't see any way that a country in Russia's position could allow them to join NATO. I don't see that happening. "I believe that's the reason the war started because Biden went out and said that [Ukraine] could join NATO."

❗️"I don't think we should be thinking about a Plan B. I don't have one," NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said in response to a question from a UNIAN correspondent about whether the Alliance has a backup plan in case negotiations fail and U.S. weapon supplies to Ukraine are halted. Rutte emphasized that the United States has been "very consistent" in supporting Ukraine, just like all NATO allies, and that by the end of the year, Kyiv will receive $5 billion worth of weapons under the PURL program, including critical ones.

Zelensky says it is "dangerous" for Americans to question the amount of aid being given to Ukraine because "if Ukraine loses, Russia is going to enter Baltic states, NATO member states and the U.S. will have to send their sons and daughters to war and they will be dying."
