Ukraine receives a negative response from Germany on joining NATO.
Despite Ukraine’s hopes for NATO membership, the German Foreign Minister announced that it is not possible to talk about the accession of warring countries to NATO.
Media sources from Oslo, the capital of Norway, reported that the issue of Ukraine’s accession to NATO has become one of the questionable issues in the informal meeting of the foreign ministers of this Western military alliance.
According to the Sputnik news agency, German Foreign Minister Analena Baerbok announced to the journalists before the meeting that Germany opposes Ukraine’s membership in NATO in the current situation.
In response to reporters’ questions, Baerbok said: “NATO’s open door policy (for the membership of new countries) remains in force, but at the same time, it is clear that we cannot talk about accepting new members (who are) in the middle of a war.”
The German Foreign Minister poured clean water on the country’s hands regarding Ukraine joining NATO, as Kyiv repeatedly asked the US and its allies to make Ukraine a NATO member.
Before the German Foreign Minister’s statements, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on the eve of the informal meeting of the foreign ministers of this military alliance that all allies agree that Ukraine should become a member and that Russia does not have the right to veto against the expansion of NATO.
Stoltenberg’s words came while the Secretary General of the NATO alliance recently emphasized that Ukraine cannot join the alliance as long as the war with Russia continues.
Senior officials in Moscow, such as Vladimir Putin, have repeatedly warned that Russia considers Ukraine’s membership in NATO a “red line” and is against Russia’s security interests, and will deal with it.
The intensification of the statements of the Western authorities about the issue of Ukraine joining NATO is done in the situation that the war between this country and Russia started on the 5th of March 1400 and continues with the all-around interference of the Western countries.
