Zelensky says ‘uncertainty’ over Ukraine’s NATO membership motivates Moscow to continue ‘terror’
The Hill ^ | 07/11/2023 | JULIA MUELLER

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that “uncertainty” over whether the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) alliance will offer admission to Ukraine motivates Russia to continue “terror” in its war on Kyiv.

“It seems there is no readiness neither to invite Ukraine to NATO nor to make it a member of the Alliance,” Zelensky said. “This means that a window of opportunity is being left to bargain Ukraine’s membership in NATO in negotiations with Russia. And for Russia, this means motivation to continue its terror.”

Putin should cut a deal: No NATO for Ukraine in return for complete Russian withdrawal from Ukraine.

Why doesn’t Zelensky simply announce he won’t accept membership into NATO?

Ukraine won’t be in NATO and Russia is going to keep Crimea and Donbas.
Your suggestion is comical.
The patience and support from the West won’t outlast Russia.
Pragmatism suggests peace with Russia keeping Crimea and Donbas, and NATO doesn’t admit Ukraine.

He does not need to cut a deal. He is winning and he will get what he wants. NATO is impotent and falling apart.

That was actually Russia's position for the last 20 years, but their concerns were either ignored, or when deals were made (such as Minsk Agreements) they were broken by Ukraine and its NATO bosses. There was a similar deal in place in April 2022, after the war started - but NATO sent Boris Johnson to Kiev to tell Ukraine to abandon the deal.

So WHY would Russia ever agree to such a thing again?

Why does Biden always Reverse Course?


Because he’s trading Ukraine actions for Commitments Not to Impeach with Congress. He always reverses course after getting the Commitments.

And membership in NATO guarantees WWIII. He doesn’t get it. You are not allowed to join NATO when you are already at War...and there was some kind of agreement that they would never join NATO.

That’s just baloney Zelensky speaking ou his butt again. He’ll say anything and everything to get Ukraine into Nato so they can scam and become Nato/EU’s welfare state.

Yes, he should. but it depends on what Ukraine’s borders are. Does that include the Crimea? I don’t think Russia will give that up. Since Ukraine did nothing to defend it or try to take it back, I say let them have it in exchange for withdrawing from everywhere else.

If these people don’t know they are cut out of a Russia -US deal, they are dumber than I thought.

Putin and Russia are past worrying about NATO / USA lies and promises.

Russia is going to create facts on the ground that amount to defensible borders - at minimum the Dnieper.

He doesn’t get a cut.

However, he is totally wrong about trying to join NATO while he’s at war.
