A while back, I remember "Z" had a little plan. Put in a line, stop the war and then they can become part of NATO. Then make like Russia started a skirmish....call in the other members of NATO and take the land back.
So Russia is right...without that clause, it will not be a lasting peace.
Russia already has a 1,400 mile border with NATO member Finland. Ukraine in NATO could cause Putin to “go ballistic”.
