Summary
UK Labour leader Keir Starmer reaffirmed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Ukraine is on an “irreversible path” to NATO membership.
This stance contrasts with recent U.S. signals, where Donald Trump suggested potential concessions to Russia, including accepting Ukraine’s non-NATO status.
European leaders, including Emmanuel Macron, have criticized such concessions, insisting on Ukraine’s right to negotiate its future.
The UK also imposed new sanctions on Russian officials and entities.
Ukraine existing pisses off Russia. Them defending their country “escalates tensions”…
I don’t disagree with you. People assumed I was against this but I was highlighting the fact that Russia is going to be more aggressive as Ukraine gets closer to being part of NATO.
Okay… If you’re discussing in good-faith, please remember that Ukraine defending themselves against invaders is “escalating” in Russian propaganda terms. People might jump to assumptions…
What did Russia do when Finland and Sweden joined NATO? Fuck all. They’ve already done their worst. All they can do if it happens is leave with their tail between their legs.
I sure hope so.
