Ukraine Bids to Join NATO Despite Long Odds Against Wartime Move

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg) -- Ukraine formally applied to join NATO Friday, but the alliance is likely to react cautiously to avoid provoking a full-blown conflict with Russia since members are pledged to come to each other’s defense.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced the accelerated bid in a video address to the nation, saying Ukraine has already made its “path towards NATO,” demonstrating “compatibility with the alliance’s standards,” he said.

“We trust each other, help each other and protect each other,” he said. “We know it is possible.”

A NATO spokesperson didn’t immediately comment. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is due to speak at a previously planned press conference at 6 p.m. Brussels time.

1. Entrance requires 100% agreement of current members. I don't think that will happen

Personally, I think it would be the best way out of the war, for everyone. Russia would be forced to go home and very shortly. Ukraine would get all it’s territory back and be protected in the future. It would also ensure the safety of all of Europe and we could finally put an end to russian aggression at least on the continent.
