NATO Slams Russia’s “Violations,” To Unveil “Bridge To Membership” For Ukraine At Washington Summit

Despite mounting tensions with Russia over NATO* expansion, the bloc’s outgoing chief hopes Ukraine will become a member in the next 10 years
*North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. The outgoing NATO Secretary-General said “I very much hope that Ukraine will become an ally”. Jens Stoltenberg admitted that NATO is helping Ukraine prepare for the military alliance. The NATO chief said Kyiv’s allies must continue to provide "strong support" and avoid a repeat of the Minsk Agreements to achieve peace in Ukraine.

[@lornamackay4069]

It was never Russia that "violated" Minsk agreements. Kyiv never enacted them, but continued to shell and bomb the Donbas cities and civilians. Unfortunately for the Kyiv government, their soldiers were never able to defeat the Donbas militias, who were fighting for their homes and families. The militias pushed the Kyiv Ukraine troops back, which is the only reason Kyiv pretended to agree to Minsk - they were loosing to Donbas then, and they are losing to Russia now!

[@bassbuffricky]

You carefully left out the fact that it was Igor Girkin who - on Putin's orders - occupied Sloviansk after Moscow puppet Viktor Yanukovych was defeated in the 2014 democratic elections. That occupation led to the war in Donbass. Those are the historical facts, not the Kremlin lies.

[@johnnyrexchannel142]

If the Donbass militia really going to win why would Russia join the war? Your statement is contradicting.

[@lornamackay4069]

@@johnnyrexchannel142 Donbas was easily able to defeat Kyiv Ukraine's forces in 2014-15, but since then NATO/US was arming and training Kyiv regime's soldiers. It was clear to Russia and the Donbas self-declared republics that Kyiv would never honour the agreements. NATO/USA were amassing a huge force to invade Donbas, so they appealed to Russia to recognise their "republics" and help them. The sad reality is that USA/NATO never expected Ukraine to be able to win against Russia, so the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians is a pointless sacrifice made so others could get rich.

i think the NATO gen secretary is one of the biggest reason for this ukraine war.

[@giselamalik8693]

So we have to say: since May 2022 after Erdogan Peace Talks the war is alive and heated on with more and more Provocations by Nato+ EU etc. The have the responsibility under the leadership of a senil US President and weak Nat.Leaders, except Orban and Fico. Than Stoltenberg without red Face promisses during an ongoing war without any interest for peace, its the choice of UA: war without Money, Weapons, People. With highest death toll in Armee, with Devastation and with the " sponsered" Idea to win this war.

Because Ukraine is at war and it's constitution does not allow for elections while at war. How is Ukraine going to hold an election while millions of its citizens are refugees another million in on the battlefield and millions more are russian hostages?

@IStandWithRussiaZOV putin didn't hold an election he held a show where all the people who could challenge him were either killed, exiled, imprisioned, or disqualified. Ukraine is unable to hold elections constitutional because it is under a total assault, and millions of its citizens are unable to vote, and millions more would just become russian targets trying to go to the polls.
