Ukrainian War, NATO Troops Fighting Russia: Near Atomic Ravine

NATO is moving closer to a direct confrontation with Russia and the deployment of troops into the war-torn territory of Ukraine. The nightmare scenario is prophesied not by any commentator, but by Anders Rasmussen, former NATO secretary general and official adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky. “If NATO does not agree on a clear path for Ukraine, there is a clear possibility that some countries may act on their own. We know that Poland is very committed to concrete assistance to Ukraine. And I don’t rule out that Poland will get more involved followed by the Baltics, perhaps with its own troops on the ground” Rasmussen points out.

The former Atlantic Alliance number one stomps on the accelerator: “I think the Poles would seriously consider the idea of ​​forming a coalition of the will if Ukraine does not achieve anything in Vilnius.” The NATO summit will take place in the Lithuanian capital in July with Ukraine’s entry into the Atlantic Pact on the agenda, a membership that according to Kiev should be immediate. Rasmussen, in the columns of the Guardian, traced the path: “We must not underestimate Polish feelings, the Poles believe that for a long time Western Europe did not heed their warnings about true Russian intentions. Such a military initiative would be entirely legal even if NATO unity were broken. To avoid this scenario, therefore, it would be necessary to define a not-too-distant entry of Ukraine into NATO”. With Ukraine’s accession to NATO, therefore, there would be direct combat with Russia, as there would be a duty to defend Kiev. An escalation that would bring the dreaded nuclear war closer and that Germany is in fact trying to contain, lowering the tone of provocations against Moscow.

“I have spoken with several leaders of Central-Eastern Europe and they would at least like a clear path for Ukraine’s accession to NATO”, comments Zelensky’s adviser, who is doing everything to boost the alliance to welcome the Ukrainians.
