Stoltenberg denies Ukraine security and collective defense guarantees from NATO

Ukraine cannot count on security guarantees from NATO and collective defense, since it is not a member of the alliance. In case of aggression against Kiev, NATO will provide all-round support. But not the one for which Kiev has a request.

This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Answering journalists' questions about Ukraine, the secretary general urged to distinguish between NATO members, which are subject to a security guarantee and a collective defense treaty, and alliance partners, such as Ukraine. According to him, since Ukraine is not a NATO member, it means that no one will give it any guarantees, but Kiev can still count on "comprehensive support."

Thus, Stoltenberg rejected NATO guarantees of security and collective defense to Ukraine. In other words, he once again reminded Kiev that NATO will not fight for Ukraine, but will express his concern and impose sanctions against Russia in the event of "any invasion" or "aggression." This decision was made by the foreign ministers of NATO member states following a two-day meeting in Riga. It is reported that the issue of Ukraine was raised, a decision was made to urge Russia to "avoid escalation."

The ministers made it clear that any future invasion or aggression against Ukraine will have a high cost, economic and political consequences for Russia.

- declared Stoltenberg.

Meanwhile, the head of the US State Department, Anthony Blinken, once again accused Russia of wanting to "destabilize the situation" in Ukraine and expressed concern over plans for a "Russian invasion." At the same time, he stated about the available "evidence" of Russia's aggressive actions against Ukraine. But Blinken's deputy Nuland did not say anything about "concern", simply threatening Russia with "sanctions, which had not been previously" for actions against Ukraine.

Good for the gay European outskirts. So they hoped. And NATO took and betrayed

[Tatyana]

In NATO countries, there are no fools to fight for some kind of Ukraine!
Cashing in on Ukraine and Russophobic Ukrainians is always welcome!

[Silver bullet]

But what about the detachments of writers in VO? Yesterday and so the upholstery of battle sofas burned out from the news about Lukoshenko's recognition of Crimea as Russian ?! And today they are sitting on kitchen stools, drinking tea with validol and valerian, and then such a blow with a speck of a NATO boot on the oval ?! What to do with the manuals about the "Europeans", "all the worlds"? It's already dark, but there is no coup! This means that there is no reason to shed very quickly from the outskirts of the freak show either. And there will be no planes as in the Afghan airport, and in the case of a nix, not everyone will reach Poland and will reach Bulgaria.
In general, we are waiting today for the fireworks over the Dnieper (and single claps on the site).

And for me, so among the current EU politicians, mostly imbeciles! If you collect all the statements of representatives of NATO, the EU, Poles and Tribalts in a week, and then read it in one breath, then a slight mental confusion is inevitable.

It is too early to write off Sherkhan - she is acting, the female dog, according to her nefarious plan - the Taliban unleashed battles with the Iranian border guards, both sides switched to artu. It is not just that they left such a smart supply in Afghanistan. It may be the same with Ukraine - they will pump it up, pour some foolishness into the ears and send it on a great campaign ...

I must add - On the last trip. After that, there will no longer be any independent Ukraine.

What makes you think that someone has betrayed someone, that NATO swore an oath to these idiots, I don’t remember something like that. For that fought for it and ran. There is no need to blame the mirror if the face is crooked.

[Vasily Onischuk]

Tooting. NATO did not promise them anything, and in general it was said that Ukraine before NATO was at least 20 years old. But true Svidomo stubborn. Therefore, NATO believed in such a way that the aspiration to join NATO was already written into the Constitution. By the way, the only ones in the whole world. Even NATO member states have nothing written about NATO in their constitutions.

Now we can say Stoltenberg sent them in general in plain text, they say NATO is not ready to expose its face for some kind of freaks in embroidered shirts. Will they understand ...

NATO? But Russia took it and did not attack. Why do we need this?

By the way, he also laid siege to Russia, to put it mildly, priest about vetoing the entry into NATO of states to the west of the border of the Russian Federation

[Real Pilot]

Probably Ze sits and hums an old song about the longed-for organization:
"You turned me down twice,
I don't want - you said ...
Here is such an infection
The NATO girl of my dreams! "

They took off the last trousers, let the country go around the world. But they were not given! No guarantees, that's the same ...

[Clear]

Why do they have their hands there? Are you going to defend the 11-meter one from Russia?

[notingem]

They just want to go to the toilet and there is a queue

[Grandfather Mozai]

The Geyropean outskirts fancies in their trousers that they are an ardent war Cossack who is holding back the Russian bear on the eastern borders from ruining the honeycomb of Tseevropa. Well, of course, the greedy Tseevropa should in every possible way feed and please the Cossack with the speeches of the garnokho .. inaaaaaache, he "free-loving" people will wave his tail and start winking at China;)

[Vasily Onischuk]

What were they hoping for? They have Poles behind the curb, let them ask how England and France helped Poland in 1939. They will tell you. Or let them ask Russia how ANTANTA led herself to the First World War, although you yourself should know, there was one country at that time. And there is no reason for NATO to fight for Ukraine. He has already received everything the West needed. And not just free. The West got everything in such a way that Ukraine now owes that West for many years to come.

[Andrey Moskvin]

The age-old goal has been achieved - one part of the Russian people is waiting for another attack.

[210ox]

Interesting further. As the Poles harnessed for the British (cannon fodder later). In Africa and Italy near Monte Cassino.

[Vasily Onischuk]

Well, this is what the British are masters. They have always loved, and knew how, to fight with someone else's hands. And write down victories to your asset.

For 500 years, the Anglo-Saxons have been receiving free of charge everything that "lies badly".

Yes, they will support them, they will. Militant comments on social media.

And if Ukraine is now simply given to Russia, then Russia will have a terrible headache for the same many years to come.

Yes, they cracked the banderostan on the forehead. You want to stay, but you want to fall. And these idiots hoped that they would be "very peaceful." Well, well, keep up the good work.

Apparently, the earlier arrival of Nuland to Moscow did not justify the hopes of the Washington regional committee in Ukraine, if they again threaten with sanctions, then we are doing everything right

[opuonmed]

yeah, and the shas is simple trains stuffed ukrinu with weapons to set fire to what would blaze and the Slavs would kill the Slavs, they are so waiting for it! to solve the problem, you need to destroy those who come up with all this and who manage it all!

The enemies of the human race have stocked up on popcorn and await further events. This is their favorite tactic: to play off peoples. Serbs with Croats. Serbs with boshnyaks. Russians with Ukrainians, etc. NATO is ready to fight to the last Ukrainian.

Stoltenberg probably somehow senses that after the final departure from the political pedestal of Angela Merkel, his opinion will be the same as that of the European monarchs. It will simply be pushed far away from making serious decisions. It was not in vain that Macron was planted in France to be a counterweight to Germany, and now God himself told him to take on his main task - to take the place of the leader in Europe, which "got rid" of the World Bank a little earlier.
Here is a short extract about the new military-political axis that has emerged within the EU and NATO.

Where the Rome-Paris axis leads us, the Italian geographer and geopolitician Manlio Dinucci asks in an analytical article about the Quirinal Treaty, signed on November 26 of this year. in Rome by French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, and aimed at deepening bilateral cooperation on a wide range of issues of joint work between Paris and Rome at the "European level" in order to strengthen the European Union.
According to Dinucci, this treaty will fundamentally change the defense architecture of the European Union. From now on, not two nuclear powers (France and Great Britain), and not even the French army and Germany's checkbook, but the two main EU armies (French and Italian) will take care of its safety and human rights. The implication is that everything will remain under NATO command.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

[Timur_3]

Yes. Life teaches nothing.

[Valery Volkov]

Nobody wants to risk and end up at ... a "broken trough" for the sake of some kind of Ukraine, albeit a very Russophobic one. But NATO understands that there are no options in this war - this is how it will cease to exist, but this option is not suitable for them. They really want to play Ukraine against Russia and look at it from the outside, as they like to do. Alas, Russia no longer agrees with this option and no one will look from the outside, there will simply be no one ...

[boris ivanov]

NATO cannot even guarantee its members security. and even more so for Ukraine.

[valera75]

One drug addict, who is now undergoing rehabilitation in his homeland in the dungeons of the Kazimats, also believed in NATO, but NATO did not think to believe in it, NATO does not believe in consumables. But how the wildlings from the 404 country blindly believe in NATO, it’s so amazing. they are non-brothers.

[Dkuznecov]

I guess just quoting the NATO charter,
no more and no less.
That does not exclude "personal initiatives" at all.
We called it - "under my responsibility".
Whose responsibility was to supply strike aircraft or
Javelins, second question.
Here it is not Ukraine that needs to be dealt with, but the initiators.
And let's not forget - NATO is the most successful
financial institution after the Christian church.
No bankruptcy, no defaults. Only arrived.

[shinobi]

In short, NATO has confirmed its powerlessness in front of Russia. Further verbiage, their help will not move. And Ukraine has annoyed everyone with its screams. Donbas, this is their internal problem that they cannot solve without our help. And we will not help by definition.

[Sovpadenie]

And what? Is it a simple human, sincere concern worthless in today's times?

[zwlad]

According to him, since Ukraine is not a NATO member, it means that no one will give any guarantees to it.

Will this message reach the Ukropatriots?

[GAndr]

Any sane person understands that no one will fight with Russia because of Ukraine, there are no suicides. I will say even more, not even for all of its members NATO would have fought, for the same Baltic states they would not have fought. It is possible that they would not have harnessed themselves for Poland. Only now Poland and the Baltic states fucking Russia did not give up.
