The Czech President made the suggestion this week.
The Czech President, Petr Pavel, made an eye-catching suggestion this week: Ukraine could join NATO while it’s still partially occupied by Russia.
Its key principle is shared defence – so if one member is attacked, the other nations must provide support under Article 5 of the founding treaty.Ukraine has been slowly edging towards NATO membership in recent decades. In 2008, the alliance agreed that “”. And from 2017, Kyiv began passing laws distancing itself from Russia and moving closer to Western allies.
The thinking goes that if Ukraine becomes part of NATO, the other member states will be obliged to defend it against Russian aggression. That could mean direct warfare between nuclear powers – NATO members the US, UK and France versus Russia – which no one wants.That’s why the Czech President’s comments this week were so surprising. He told thethat “full restoration of control over the entire territory is not a necessary prerequisite” for NATO membership.
