The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022is on its way to completing three years of conflict and no type of agreement has yet been reached between both parties. Zelensky proposed a “victory plan”, made up of five main points, through which he intends to achieve peace, while other figures such as Republican Donald Trump promised to end the conflict “in 24 hours.” However, none of these initiatives have managed to go further than their proposal.
Faced with this scenario, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte expressed his concern in an interview with the ‘Financial Times’stating that a “bad peace” in Ukraine can have serious consequences for security in the West. “A bad peace deal for Ukraine would mean a clash of hands between the leaders of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. But such an outcome represents a terrible threat to the United States,” lamented Mark Rutte.
For Rutte, the best option is help Ukraine obtain weapons and continue sending weapons to the country so that you can negotiate from a “position of strength” and not “waste time thinking about other initiatives.” In addition, he warned of the danger of powers such as Iran, China, North Korea and Russia uniting, since it means that “these different parts of the world where there are conflicts are increasingly connected.” In the event that Russia makes a breakthrough with Ukraine, “Xi Jinping may be bolder and use force against Taiwan.”
On November 6, ‘The Wall Street Journal’ published a text containing different versions of advisors to Republican Donald Trump to establish a plan to “freeze” the conflict in Ukraine, made up of different points, including:
- Create a demilitarized zone approximately 1,300 kilometers long.
- Limit Ukraine’s entry into NATO.
This plan alerted not only the Ukrainians themselves, but also worried the entire international community. Sources cited by the agency’Reuters’ y ‘German wave’, They stated that Ukraine’s entry into NATO is something on which there is still no agreement. “It will take weeks and months to reach some kind of consensus. I don’t think this will happen tomorrow, I would be very surprised,” said one of NATO’s senior diplomats. From Ukraine, for their part, they highlighted that They will not accept anything other than full membership.
“We are convinced that the only real guarantee security for Ukraine, as well as a deterrent to further Russian aggression against Ukraine and other states, is Ukraine’s full membership in NATO,” stressed the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry. Zelensky, for his part, stated that “Putin You don’t want to lose the support of your company. So he won’t supply Russia with cannon fodder, but the North Koreans will feed it. If that were not enough, they will also turn to other countries. Their objective is to reduce the social pressure that already exists in their country,” he added.
