Great Britain acts as a locomotive for Europeans in the decisiveness of Ukraine’s admission to NATO. This opinion was expressed on the air of the FREEDOM TV channel by Ruslan Osipenko, a diplomat and international expert.
“Britain is our key partner in the Euro-Atlantic alliance and has supported Ukraine from the very beginning. The country that was the first, even before the start of the war, began to supply us with weapons, despite the skepticism of other European continental powers and even, I would say, the hesitation of the United States. That is why Britain plays such a vital role in Ukraine winning this war. I’ll even say that I didn’t survive, but won, ”said Osipenko.
He noted that discussions are now underway on how to ensure Ukraine’s security after the end of the war unleashed by the Kremlin, and the key option is the country’s entry into NATO.
“Britain is clearly on our side, and it is a locomotive, setting an example for the Europeans in fact, in its determination that the hesitations that were in 2008 at the summit led to the fact that today we have a war in Europe, and such hesitations should no longer be be. And that’s all Britain. Therefore, the British are our closest allies who support us,” the diplomat stressed.
In his opinion, against the backdrop of the complexity of the issue of the post-war security architecture in the world, it is the admission or non-admission of Ukraine to NATO that will mean “the policy of victory or the policy of conciliation of the Euro-Atlantic bloc with personalist regimes.”
“But in general this will be decided at the level of the United States and China at the end of the war. From my point of view, this will be the key question. One of the key questions. The second question will be the fate of post-war Russia – will it be pro-Chinese or will it be pro-Western,” Osipenko said.
According to the diplomat, Putin’s regime today demonstrates its unviability. His model collapsed with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“From my point of view, after even when we reach the borders of 1991, Russian society will simply look for a more viable model in order to return and, from their point of view, to return “their”, as they believe, lands,” Osipenko said.
Earlier, the head of the Center for Military Legal Studies, Oleksandr Musiyenko, expressed the opinion that at the upcoming Vilnius NATO summit, the issue of Ukraine’s entry into the Alliance without a Membership Action Plan (MAP) will probably be discussed.
