EU leaders to discuss Ukraine’s accession to NATO in Paris: The Guardian names main condition

European leaders want to “tie” this commitment to a possible violation of the ceasefire by Russia.

European leaders meeting in Paris on February 17 will separately discuss the option of Ukraine “automatically” gaining NATO membership if Russia were to violate the ceasefire after a peace deal between the countries.

“There must be provision for devastating consequences, something that was missing from previous ceasefire agreements in Ukraine since 2014,” The Guardian said .

A proposal for NATO membership conditional on Russia’s ceasefire violation has reportedly been put forward by some US senators and has now received the backing of senior European leaders, including Finnish President Alexander Stubb.

He insists that the door should not be “opened to Russian fantasies” about spheres of influence.

And what will be called a violation? One bullet, two bullets, invading a village?

Let’s hope that this ONE TIME, things will be moved beyond the hot gas stage.

Cut the red tape. Remove the putler scum from NATO, and admit Ukraine. NATO is instantly many times stronger, with the best military fighters in the world.
