Admit Ukraine to NATO, but not all of it: the ex-Secretary General made a proposal

Anders Fogh Rasmussen proposed extending the Alliance’s security guarantees to territories under Kyiv’s control.

Ukraine may be admitted to NATO, but “does not extend guarantees of collective self-defense” to territory under Russian occupation. This proposal was made by the former Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance, Anders Fogh Rasmussen. The Guardian reported this on Saturday, November 11.

According to Rasmussen, partial membership will warn Russia that it cannot prevent Ukraine from joining the Alliance. However, he added that this does not mean a freeze in the conflict.

The ex-Secretary General is also convinced that the issue of Ukraine’s membership in NATO cannot be postponed again until next year.

“It is time to take the next step and invite Ukraine to NATO. We need a new European security architecture where Ukraine is at the center of NATO,” he said.

The publication states that the supporters of Ukraine’s membership in NATO are prevented by the fifth article on collective defense, that is, all NATO member countries are obliged to actively defend the attacked country.

Therefore, Rasmussen is confident that if the territory controlled by Russia is not included in NATO, “the threat of conflict between Russia and NATO will be reduced.” At the same time, the Russian Federation should receive a clear signal that any violation of NATO territory will have consequences.

According to Rasmussen, Ukraine’s membership in NATO will deter the Russian Federation from missile, air and other attacks for fear of confrontation with the Alliance. In turn, this will free up Ukrainian forces to reach the front line.

Let’s remember that in June, Rasmussen said that NATO member countries could send troops to Ukraine if Ukraine did not receive guarantees of membership and guarantees for the transition period at the NATO summit.

As you know, Rasmussen was one of the developers of the draft security guarantees for Ukraine.
