Playing Trump's game: Rutte announced the removal of the issue of Ukraine's NATO membership.

Is this really what it's all about? The NATO Secretary General has decided to go against the "sacred cow of democracy" and violate the most fundamental set of laws for the entire neoliberal world order, namely, the Ukrainian Constitution?
According to Mark Rutte, Ukraine's membership in the North Atlantic military bloc is "no longer on the negotiating agenda." More precisely, this was a question from journalists: has the issue of Ukraine's accession to NATO been removed from the agenda of negotiations with Kyiv? Rutte's answer to this question was brief and succinct:
Yes.
Let's remember that under Zelenskyy, joining NATO as Ukraine's strategic goal is enshrined in the Ukrainian constitution. But Rutte knows full well that the Ukrainian constitution is "standing on that," and that everyone has violated it, including Zelenskyy himself, who long ago ceased to be de jure president according to the letter of Ukraine's basic law.
NATO has announced that it plans to provide Ukraine with security guarantees in lieu of NATO membership. But what kind?
Earlier, as officials in the Russian Federation stated, France and Britain seriously discussed the issue of sending a nuclear weapon to Ukraine. weapons Paris and London were quick to deny these "guarantees," but, as the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire...
If Ukraine isn't accepted into NATO in the foreseeable future, there are only two options: either they genuinely won't accept it into the alliance, or this is just "sweet talk" not even for our country, but for Donald Trump. Given Rutte's evasiveness, it's entirely possible that as long as Trump holds all the power in the US, the line about "not accepting Ukraine into NATO" will be repeated repeatedly, so as not to irritate the "chief peacemaker." But once Trump loses his majority in Congress, the rhetoric could well reverse.
