Why Nato will come calling to Ukraine when staring at a humiliated Russia | Defence in Depth

Volodymyr Zelensky failed to secure an invitation for Ukraine to join Nato this week, with 31 countries signing off on a declaration that did not give a firm timetable or clear conditions for its membership. The statement said that while “Ukraine’s future is in Nato”, the alliance would only extend an invitation once certain “democratic and security sector reforms” had been made. The Ukrainian president said it was “unprecedented and absurd” that a timeframe had not been provided, and attacked Nato’s “vague conditions”. But once Russia has been ejected from Ukraine, it may not be Kyiv pushing for Nato membership, but rather existing members on its eastern flank. #nato #russia #ukraine #military #geopolitics Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
