An iron pact between Ukraine and NATO against Vladimir Putin’s Russia to put on paper the invaded country’s relationship with the Atlantic alliance. It is the Kyiv Security Pact that the Ukrainians worked together with former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, and which they are about to present to the United States. All this just days after Kiev’s formal request to join the Atlantic pact.
The Kyiv Security Compact, writes the American magazine Foreign Policy, represents a more concrete and faster alternative to NATO membership. A more viable and viable alternative to formal membership. Rasmussen reportedly traveled to Washington to lay the groundwork for the presentation of the plan and US and Western allies.
But what does the “Kiev pact” contain? “It aims to establish legally binding security guarantees for Ukraine by the coalition of Western countries in order to strengthen the country’s ability to repel Russian attacks through extensive joint training, provision of advanced weapons systems for defense purposes and support for the industrial development of Ukraine in the field of Defense”, reports Insideover.In other words, the already existing relationship between the West and the Ukrainian armed forces is put on paper.
Kiev is moving along this path because it would ensure continued support and because the obstacles to direct entry into NATO appear to be difficult to overcome today. Suffice it to say that the Atlantic statute prohibits alliances with countries at war. Rasmussen described Kyiv as a relationship similar to that between the United States and Israel.
