NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the issue of Ukraine's accession to NATO is practically resolved. He was supported by US Ambassador to the Alliance Julianne Smith.


Stoltenberg made his statement during a speech at the CNAS Center for a New American Security.
The Secretary General drew attention to the fact that this issue will in no way depend on Moscow and President Vladimir Putin.

The allies have repeatedly stated that they agree that Ukraine will become a member of the alliance. We unanimously decided that only Ukraine and the members of the organization should decide when the time comes to formally invite Ukraine
 
- said Stoltenberg.

A couple of days ago, at a forum in Brussels, the politician said that he sees no point in accepting Ukraine into NATO if it does not win the conflict with Russia. If Ukraine does not exist as an independent democratic state, there will be no subject to discuss its membership in the alliance at all, the Secretary General of the organization noted.

Earlier it was reported that starting from June 4, Ukrainian troops are attacking along the line of contact. So far, this cannot be called a full-scale offensive, but rather a strike aimed at holding Russian forces and revealing weaknesses.

    There is only one obstacle to this - the victory of Russia before the decision is made to admit Ukraine to NATO. Because according to the same character

    If Ukraine does not exist as an independent sovereign democratic state, there will be no subject to discuss its membership in the alliance at all.

    Who would doubt that. They will be admitted to NATO in order to maintain statehood and a foothold, and then to the EU, which is actually the same thing.
    Only the advance of Russian troops to the western border can prevent this, but this is unrealistic.
    As an option, advance to the Dnieper and Odessa, in order to at least deprive them of access to the sea. However, it is also doubtful. Putin considers Kyiv a competitor to Moscow in the event of joining the back of the Dnieper to the Russian Federation. As a result, Ukraine will retain its statehood with all the ensuing consequences.
    The third option is trading. The entry of NATO peacekeeping forces with the subsequent entry of Ukraine into NATO=EU, and in return NATO=EU recognizes Crimea and new territories for the Russian Federation. This is a temporary solution with which Ukraine will never accept, which means a postponed war,
    Another unlikely option is that the Russian Federation gives up the occupied territories of the Kherson and Zaporozhye provinces in exchange for the recognition of the DPR-LPR and Crimea for the Russian Federation.
    In any case, the Russian Federation will be required to compensate for damages and reparations when removing part of some not the most important sanctions

    NATO and the EU are not the same. Turkey is in NATO, but not in the EU, and will not be taken there. Americans have had enough. Ukraine will not be admitted to the EU either, it does not meet the criteria. And no one has canceled the competition, and Ukrainian agricultural products have already filled up the EU grain market. Ukraine is needed only as a military ram against Russia and a source of cheap labor for the EU. This is what they will do. They will try.

    Thus, he leaves Russia no choice but to liquidate Ukraine as a state.

    Stoltenberg's statement, as I understand it, is intended for the most part for the Russian public as a means of intimidation, an info war. Everyone understands that Ukraine is actually already in NATO.

    This leaves no decision for Putin in favor of peace or a truce. Complete cleansing of Ukraine, without the Western regions.

    This is all talk, no one removed from the agenda the issue of returning NATO to the borders of 1997. Ukraine is the first part of Russia's military-technical response.
