Zelensky wanted to join NATO for security reasons. why are not part of Nato yet. Who is blocking and why is it taking so much time.
If USA and Europe cares about them. They could have included them long back or ASAP after troops build up.
Russia/putin is very clear about their objective. What is Ukraine/Zelensky objective?
I wouldn't buy into Putin "NATO" bullshit.
There are NATO Border with Russia with or without Ukraine, Latvia and Estonia is already bordering Russia, and Lativa is geographically similar in distant than Ukraine, it may even be shorter from Latvia border to Moscow than any point in Ukraine. And what Putin is doing is to push their own border toward NATO, which is no different than what he said he is afraid of.
Ukraine were rejected by NATO twice (so does Russia and Soviet Union) there were always no plan to allow Ukraine into NATO, NATO know such a move will antagonise Russia, but now the Russia invaded, all bets are off, we are now seeing a dramatic shift of Russian Border Country view on NATO, specifically Finland, just a month ago, Finland is 28% in favour of joining NATO, 3 days ago they have another poll, 56% of Finnish ask the government for a referendum for joining NATO. And they are going to get it, unlike Ukraine.
So in effect, what Putin said it was afraid of - the "NATO Expansion", let see what is the different before and after, before invasion, 2 borders. (Latvia, and Estonia) after invasion, assume Russia swallow the entire Ukraine. you got 7 (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania ) The Border of NATO is set to expanded for over 2000 kms had Russia successfully invaded Ukraine.
Not to mention Russia scare of NATO so bad that they sold S-400 missile system to Turkey....
