US President Joe Biden planned to publicly invite Ukraine to NATO. But then I changed my mind about doing it.
Bloomberg reports this.
The administration of current US President Joe Biden was considering officially inviting Ukraine to NATO before Donald Trump returns to the presidency. However, this proposal was ultimately rejected.
According to the publication, inviting Ukraine to NATO, which was part of President Vladimir Zelensky’s Victory Plan, could be Biden’s move to strengthen Ukraine before Trump takes office again. However, the decision not to grant the invitation to Ukraine is explained by the low probability of success of such a step in the short term. Furthermore, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that Ukraine’s accession to NATO could become a pretext for a war with the Alliance.
However, instead of inviting NATO, the United States decided to conclude a series of bilateral security agreements with Ukraine, which, according to Bloomberg journalists, will provide certain guarantees to Ukraine.
Recall that Kursor wrote that Russia, as a country with significant nuclear potential, violates all international norms. And this puts Western countries in a dead end. Columnist Simon Tisdall writes about this in an article for The Guardian.
Kursor also reported that two days after the attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnepr, Russian President Vladimir Putin again commented on the Russian Oreshnik ballistic missile, addressing the leaders of the Ministry of Defense and representatives of the Russian military-industrial complex. He stressed that this missile is supposedly the latest Russian development and that there is sufficient supply of such missiles.
The Russian dictator also said that the Oreshnik is a hypersonic ballistic missile and is not a modernization of Soviet systems. According to him, this rocket was created on the basis of “the latest technologies.”
