Russland habe „kein Mitspracherecht“ darüber, ob die Ukraine der NATO beitreten kann, sagt Rutte

News snippet: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Nov. 26 that Ukraine’s accession to the alliance depends on unanimous agreement among member states — not on Russian demands.

„Russia has no say or veto over who can be a NATO member,“ Rutte told Spanish media outlet El Pais. „But within the Alliance, membership requires unanimity,“ adding that several NATO allies, including the United States, oppose Kyiv’s entry.

Rutte’s remarks came amid a week of intense diplomacy, after the United States reinvigorated peace talks with a controversial 28-point plan widely viewed as favoring Russia.

While the proposal has since been pared down following conversations with Ukraine and Europe following consultations with Ukraine and European partners, the original version reportedly included provisions barring Ukraine’s NATO aspirations — effectively stipulating a Russian veto of Ukraine’s membership in the alliance.

The problem is that the US had a say and the US government is way too close to Russia.

Ukraine would be a valuable addition and could become one of the strongest members once admitted.

The point is if Ukraine is going to nato Russia will make no Ukraine exist. This is what this war is about. So this is a bullshit.

„…several NATO allies, including the United States, oppose Kyiv’s entry [into NATO]“

Once again, Trump is betraying America’s allies. NATO should kick the US out.

Why not make a separate pact that only includes European countries that excludes Hungary and includes Ukraine?

Russia is the primary reason NATO exists.Russia is its own worst enemy.

Who gives a fuck what russia says?

Ukraine should agree to the NATO point just to get the peace deal signed. Fortify its border and forces, then just change its mind in a couple years.

No, but their puppet in Washington does.
