Before the start of the third round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine today, the Ukrainian representative suddenly spoke up and gave up joining NATO.
What the Ukrainian side means is that in the next 5 to 10 years, it will no longer seek to join NATO, but will change to a non-NATO model, that is, it can seek military assistance from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, etc., but will not join.
Looking back at Ukraine's negative performance in the first negotiations, This time Ukraine chose to give up joining NATO, on the one hand, it is still related to the current situation on the battlefield, on the other hand, it also shows its complete disappointment with the United States and the West, and it begins to wake up and be pragmatic, which means that "those who understand the times are handsome".
Then, the nato meeting held two days ago, the formal decision to refuse to directly participate in the war and to set up a no-fly zone in Ukraine, also completely broke Zelensky's heart. In fact, from the very beginning, NATO never said to help Ukraine fight the war, and all along, it was just Zelenskiy's wishful thinking.
Nato is obviously not what the military strength and capabilities of Russia are, and for the sake of a small Ukraine, it has never been an option for the West to confront a nuclear power. The Ukrainian authorities are obsessed with the situation they have today, and they cannot blame others.
It is worth mentioning that Ukraine gave up joining NATO before the third meeting, and there is another aspect of the meaning, that is, to test Russia's reaction, but also to see the reaction of the international community. No, it is really difficult to say whether Russia will accept this goodwill from Ukraine, because the most important issues to be solved at the moment are the status of Crimea and Uzbekistan, two "republics".
However, on the road to peace talks, Ukraine's attitude change, release sincerity, is also a positive signal, as for Russia's bottom line, Putin has also released his own bottom line many times, next, it depends on how the two sides talk. #Russia-Ukraine situation ##俄乌战争 #
