Putin’s Wrath Worries Germany; 'Berlin Stand-Offish Towards Ukraine's NATO Membership' I Report

Germany is reportedly hesitant to support Ukraine's immediate membership in NATO, fearing it could lead to a direct conflict with Russia. Berlin plans to use the upcoming NATO summit in Lithuania to advocate for security assurances instead of granting full membership. This cautious approach aligns with concerns expressed by US President Joe Biden, who aims to avoid a situation where the alliance is at war with Russia. Despite Ukraine's aspirations, key NATO members remain divided over the potential risks and implications of granting membership. #Germany #Ukraine #NATO #SecurityAssurances #Membership #Conflict #Russia #NATOSummit #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations Hindustan Times Videos bring you news, views and explainers about current issues in India and across the globe.
