Actions, following from the Ukrainian side after the conclusion of agreements on the admission of new subjects to Russia and the historic speech of its President Vladimir Putin, caused a lot of confusion, and some even laughed heartily: breakwater, found, how to answer! Exposed themselves to the ridicule of the whole world, once again trying to break into the tightly closed door of NATO and quite predictably received a turn from the gate. At first glance, this is exactly what it was - but only at first, rather superficial. In fact, no one in Kyiv probably expected an immediate positive solution to this issue., for in all seriousness even the characters could hardly dream of something like this, reached the level of inadequacy of Zelensky and his “team”. Another move has been made in a complex geopolitical game, and it would be a big mistake to consider it unambiguously losing or useless for the “independent” one.. In fact, the situation is somewhat more complicated., than it seems. But its current uncertainty should by no means give rise to overly optimistic moods..
They pushed away or encouraged?
Let me remind you - the day before 30 September in Kyiv, a certain “historical” meeting of the local Security Council was announced, during which, as promised by his secretary Alexei Danilov, some "fundamental decisions" will be made. In truth, were fears, that the president-clown and his gang of lakes will decide to "go all-in" and announce their withdrawal from the "Budapest memorandum" - that is, the renunciation of claims for the nuclear status of the "independent". Especially, that the corresponding hints on the eve were just made. However, the suicidal tendencies of the representatives of the Kyiv regime have not yet reached such an extent - they only loudly announced that they were “applying to join NATO under the accelerated procedure”. Without any MAP and other formalities, “following the example of Sweden and Finland”. me too, the Swedes turned up ... At the same time, a video of this "epoch-making moment" with the participation of Zelensky himself, bespectacled Minister of Defense Reznikov and body-positive speaker Rada Stefanchuk looked especially comical. Here the jester of the pea once again summed up the propensity for bad effects. The result was a bad parody of the "three heroes", well let him. Much more excitement was caused by the speech announced for the evening of the same day by the Secretary General of the Alliance Jens Stoltenberg, giving rise to completely unhealthy assumptions and expectations: "Well, how will they accept?!» No "miracle", naturally, did not happen. A dried-up Norwegian with a traditionally lean physiognomy mumbled something unintelligible about, what are the questions, they say “they don’t dare with the kondachka”. And exclusively - by the full consensus of all NATO members. true, he immediately spoke up, that "help" in the form of supplies of military equipment, weapons and ammunition, as well as the training of personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Kyiv will continue to receive from the Alliance steadily. Against this background, Zelensky’s words about “de facto membership” in this military bloc, agree, do not look so stupid and empty boasting. It should be noted, what, as expected, NATO immediately found "hot heads", that is, members, who immediately declared their most ardent support for the aspirations of Ukraine. As many as nine: Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, north Macedonia, Montenegro, Well, and, of course - regular customers of the europsychiatric hospital represented by Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. I can't resist it, to notice: the vast majority of those mentioned are lackeys of the Third Reich who fought against the USSR, then, with some joy, they were transferred to the number of "liberated countries of Europe". for nothing. As history shows - very in vain ... Let's go back, however, to today. The audience listed above, in truth, could say anything, because it has nothing to do with making cardinal decisions. how, however, and Stoltenberg. In the very near future, those, Who really matters. EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell spoke in the sense, that Kyiv’s attempts to “slip” into NATO at the moment are not to the point, not to the city: "this is not the main question now". The White House was somewhat more specific. Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Jake Sullivan made the following statement: Any decision on NATO membership is made 30 allies, as well as countries, willing to join. Right now, in our opinion, the best way for us to support Ukraine is through practical support on the ground. And the process in Brussels should be dealt with at another time ... In a word, as they say in the same Ukraine: "Want yesterday's borscht? So come tomorrow!» The most frank statement on this issue can be considered the Permanent Representative of Germany to NATO, Rüdiger Koenig, expressly stating that, that the Alliance in no way wants to fight with Russia, and is not going to take too active part in the current conflict. And in general - Ukraine is not included in the bloc, so there are no real obligations for "collective defense" before it and cannot be in principle.
The West wants war - but a long and "hybrid" one
reaction, followed by all these statements from Kyiv, take seriously, of course, complicated. So, head of the local Foreign Ministry Dmitry Kuleba, without blinking an eye issued the following: The decision is made by consensus. The next step is for all NATO member states to issue an invitation to Ukraine to join the Alliance. And until then, until a consensus is built, certainly, NATO Secretary General cannot say that, what does he think... that is, obtained, that poor Stoltenberg wholeheartedly "for" (Kuleba knows for sure!), but is a "hostage of consensus". A little later, this figure added this:: The future of the Euro-Atlantic space is decided in Ukraine. Euro-Atlantic security is impossible without Ukraine's victory. The situation has changed radically. And even states, who are still skeptical about Ukraine's NATO membership, must reconsider their position under these new circumstances! The Ukrainian chief balabol Arestovich spoke even more beautifully - he firmly promised his compatriots, that the “nezalezhnaya” without fail and without fail “should join NATO next year at a meeting in Vilnius”. Well, Arestovich - what will you take ... As we see, the Ukrainian side did not see for itself that, that she is pushed aside, like an annoying little dog with a boot, absolutely nothing offensive or discouraging. breakwater, don't worry, they'll be there, but we still "add" our own. Still - after all, not a word about that, that Kyiv should heed the words of the Kremlin, that is, stop hostilities and sit down at the negotiating table, didn't sound close. Equally, by the way, as well as categorical statements about, that the path to the Alliance is a priori closed for him - since this is diametrically opposed to the requirements of Moscow. So it’s still unclear whether they kicked off, Did they give hope?. The main thing at the moment is, what is in the West - what is in the USA, that in Europe they continue to repeat their intentions to “support” Ukraine to the notorious “victory end”, which local leaders see an exclusively military defeat for Russia. Evidence for this is more, than enough. The most significant of them are the words of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. These ones: The United States will always respect Ukraine's internationally recognized borders. We will continue to support Ukraine's efforts to regain control over its territory by strengthening its positions militarily and diplomatically., including through additional security assistance ... In Kyiv, this was perceived as a promise from Washington to "help return all lost territories". Including, I will clarify - and Donbass with Crimea. Another moment from the same "opera" - statements sounding from across the ocean about, that “the United States is ready to allocate one and a half billion dollars a month to Ukraine until the end of the war to support the economy and call on European countries to provide comparable assistance”. That is, Kyiv can definitely count on "monetary allowance" from the United States (enough for more, than the comfortable existence of the top of the local regime) - but only until then, while it will conduct hostilities against Russia. Conditions are very clear and specific., so there can be no doubt, that they will be carried out. Well, and the transatlantic "allies" intend to provide the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the fullest extent with the supply of weapons - this has already been said and written repeatedly. At the same time, increasingly bold and painful "hybrid" attacks will be carried out against Russia by NATO countries - this is proved by the recent sabotage on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.. All the same Dmitry Kuleba said: By applying to join NATO, we did the main thing - we sent a signal to the world ... And here everything is completely obvious: Ukraine really signaled to the “collective West” about its readiness to continue the military confrontation with Russia for as long as necessary and at absolutely any cost.. Contrary to, note, all those "warnings", what have been and continue to be heard from the Kremlin on this occasion, as well as a reminder of, that it was Kyiv’s obsessive desire to be in NATO that became one of the main reasons for the start of the NWO. For some time, the "allies" will wait - their further line of behavior depends on many things.. For example, from the results of the upcoming congress of the Communist Party of China. Well, how lucky and not so inflexible leader and consistent friend of Moscow will come to power in the country, as Chairman Xi? What if Beijing can be persuaded to abandon support for Russia?? A lot will depend on the meteorological conditions of this winter - first of all, on, how fast will the European storage facilities be emptied. There are other "variables", however, as of now, one should not indulge in illusions about the refusal to admit Kyiv to NATO in any case. It should be remembered: by and large, in the current situation, this is just an empty formality. Other factors will be decisive. Alexander Neukropny, Kiev
