Ukraine calls for path into NATO after Russia masses troops

KYIV (Reuters) -President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on NATO on Tuesday to lay out a path for Ukraine to join the Western military alliance, after days in which Russia has massed troops near the conflict-hit Donbass region.

Zelenskiy's comments drew an immediate rebuke from Moscow, which said Kyiv's approach to NATO could further inflame the situation in Donbass, where violence has increased in recent days.

The Pentagon, perhaps due to the sensitivities, flatly declined a request to comment on Zelenskiy's request at a news briefing.

Russian-backed separatists have fought since 2014 against Ukrainian forces in the Donbass, a conflict that Kyiv says has killed 14,000 people. Kyiv reported two more soldiers killed on Tuesday and, in a separate statement, Zelenskiy said 24 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed since the start of the year.

"NATO is the only way to end the war in Donbass," Zelenskiy told NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in a phone call, according to a statement from Zelenskiy's office. A Membership Action Plan laying out Ukraine's entry path into the alliance "will be a real signal for Russia", he said.

“NATO is the only way to end the war in Donbass,”

That means they want NATO forces to expel Russia from lands they’ve possessed for 350 years.

There was a news story out a few back about German armored vehicles using broomsticks for machine guns because no real machine guns were available. So yeah, NATO is not as robust as it should be.

But they are still good at filing out forms. So I wouldn’t be too surprised if they admitted the Ukraine - a terrible idea, to be sure.

How many Ukrainian hookers for Hunter does it take to get Biden, Inc. to punch Ukraine’s ticket into NATO, WWIII be damned.

In insurance, this would be like entering into an insurance contract with a known, hidden risk.

The EU doesn’t even want to admit Ukraine. I doubt NATO does either.

Hunter is more than willing to arrange a meeting with POTUS* for only 50% of the annual GDP.

I remember those provocative actions when Russia really was trying to start a war.
