Ukraine FM Hails NATO Talks in Brussels

RUSSIA
  • UKRAINIAN FOREIGN MINISTER TO VISIT BRUSSELS TO TALK TO NATO
  • As noted last week, Ukraine is pressing for faster NATO accession.
  • However, prior attempts by countries in similar positions (Georgia) have been rejected on the basis of preconditions for accession requiring no internal or external conflicts
  • This may limit Ukraine's ability to join NATO, but would likely de-escalate tensions with Russia if NATO rejects the Ukraine's application
  • Analysts have said that Russia would likely invade Ukraine if NATO showed concrete signs of approval, given that a NATO ally on Russia's border would represent a systemic threat to Russia's security
