Now is the time to realize the promise NATO made to Ukraine and Georgia in 2008 and give them seats at the table of the military alliance, former NATO Secretary General Anders Rasmussen was cited as saying by politico.eu.
“It’s time we set out an action plan to realize our promise. If necessary, we can do this with a proviso stating that NATO’s Article 5 only covers the territory under the control of Kyiv and Tbilisi,” he said. According to Rasmussen, NATO cannot allow putin to act as the doorman for an open-door policy on enlargement.
“Ukrainians are a battle-hardened people willing to fight for the freedom that much of Europe has taken for granted, and we in the free world should be under no illusion that they fight for our freedom too. History tells us that aggressors tend not to stay in their own neighborhoods,” he said.
