Key Points and Summary – NATO must stop treating Ukraine’s struggle as someone else’s war and support Kyiv as a de facto future member until it formally joins the alliance.
-Ukrainian accession once seemed inevitable, only to be derailed by Vladimir Putin’s hard turn at the 2007 Munich Security Conference and Europe’s fear of escalation.
-What is needed is sustained weapons flows via NATO mechanisms, solving financing for major air buys, and closing political rifts inside the alliance—and echoes Garry Kasparov’s warning: NATO must return to its core mission of deterring Russian aggression, or face endless war.
Can NATO Support Ukraine Until the Day It Becomes an Alliance Member?
What should the United States and NATO do about Ukraine? This question is a sore subject for those of us who lived in the country, lost everything when the Russians invaded, and had to leave as war refugees.
