The annexation of Ukrainian territories by Russia could lead to the fact that most NATO countries still agree to accept Ukraine to the Alliance. This indicates that Putin has strategically miscalculated and it will be difficult for him to present this news as a victory for the domestic consumer.

“In fact, today Putin has taken a step that opens up a certain field for Ukraine’s opportunities. President Zelenskyy said that Ukraine was applying for NATO membership. And now, as a result of the annexation and Putin’s nuclear threats, most NATO nations may agree to accept Ukraine. Of course, there will be a discussion, we will not be accepted so unconditionally,” Volia said.
However, as the political scientist says, now there comes a time when it will be clear on whose side politicians such as Erdogan and Orban are actually on.
“Especially Erdogan. We do not hide Kurds on our territory, they will not be able to find fault with us. Unless he can say that he does not want to spoil relations with Putin. By the way, Orbán can also say the same thing,” Volia said.
The political scientist added that it is likely that at the time of consideration of Ukraine’s application for NATO membership, the United States, France and the United Kingdom – nuclear countries – will provide special security guarantees for Ukraine. Similarly, as was the case in Finland when the country submitted its application. Recently, there was an undeclared visit of the Minister of Defence of the United Kingdom Ben Wallace. It is possible that this particular topic was discussed. If this is true and the nuclear powers provide guarantees of Ukraine’s security, then it will be possible to level Putin’s nuclear threats.
“This step underlines that Putin strategically lost and launched the mechanism of Ukraine’s accession to NATO, seizing and annexing Ukrainian territories. It can also have a negative impact on the attitude of the Russians themselves to Putin. After all, such a defeat of Putin can no longer be presented or hidden in any other way and silenced. This will be discussed,” the political scientist said.
Recall
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that today Ukraine is applying for NATO membership in an expedited manner.
