Increasing differences among NATO members in support of Ukraine

According to Isna, the war in Ukraine, which will soon enter its third year in the winter, has had significant effects on the economy, budget and military resources of European countries, but in the meantime, the important point is the disagreement of NATO members over the continuation of this war, which has caused the alliance NATO will be weakened.

“National Interest” magazine writes in a report about this: “NATO’s political will is currently not enough to guarantee Ukraine’s victory in the war against Russia.” “This issue could not only lead to the destruction of Ukraine as an independent country, but it could also prepare Russia to control other neighbors, including Poland, the Baltic states, and other NATO and non-NATO allies.”

This American media emphasizes: “NATO has enough resources to protect Ukraine, but the differences and multiplicity among its members and wrong decisions weaken its goals.”

“National Interest” while referring to Article 5 of the Treaty of NATO members and the goals of this military alliance to “establish lasting peace in Europe and North America based on defense and common values ​​of individual freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law” emphasizes: “Under such conditions “NATO is not able to guarantee world peace and security.”

Highlighting the basic problem of NATO, which led to the weakening of the effectiveness of this alliance in the Ukraine war, this American magazine writes: “One weakness affects NATO’s deterrence power; NATO is divided and there is no consensus to arm Ukraine against Russia. Countries like Slovakia, Hungary, and Serbia, the latter of which is not a member of NATO, are illiberal countries that consider the democratic standards and immigration policies of the European Union oppressive, and this issue and their failure to follow the principles of democracy has brought them closer to Russia. »

Türkiye’s desire to join BRICS is a sign of the differences in NATO

This media also mentions Turkey as a member of NATO that has recently requested to join BRICS; An action that confirms the differences and divisions in NATO.

“Türkiye has submitted a request for full membership, and we will review it,” Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said earlier.

“Bloomberg” News media reported earlier that Ankara submitted a request for BRICS membership a few months ago, partly due to the “split” between Turkey and other NATO members over the war in Ukraine. Türkiye is the first NATO member to seek membership in the non-Western BRICS group.

This year’s BRICS meeting was held from October 22 to 24 (November 1 to 3) in Kazan, Russia, as the head of this bloc this year, and many media and analysts reported that this meeting and gathering of world leaders showed that the West is moving towards “isolation” and instead, Russian President Vladimir Putin has achieved a diplomatic achievement by holding the BRICS meeting despite Western sanctions.

“National Interest” adds at the end: “Another factor that weakens Ukraine in this war is NATO’s excessive fear of conflict with Russia. Countries such as the United States, Great Britain and Germany have limited the use of weapons by Ukraine in attacking Russian territory. “NATO members, including American leaders, must rethink their attitudes and policies to maintain their commitment to ensuring Ukraine’s integrity and global stability.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has long called for the use of long-range missiles in an attack on Russian territory and claimed that this action could lead to a “victory” for Ukraine, but US President Joe Biden has avoided a direct confrontation with Russia and its possible response. The country is afraid of such an action, and for this reason, it has not yet responded positively to the request of the President of Ukraine.
