Johnson calls for Ukraine to join NATO without waiting for the conflict to end
|

[Regnum] Ukraine should be immediately accepted into NATO — even before the country's armed conflict with Russia is resolved. This opinion was expressed by former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in an article for The Spectator.
 | Former British prime minister Johnson turns out not to be nearly as clever or insightful as his long-form television interviews predicted. |
"We need to bring Ukraine into NATO immediately, and I mean immediately. There is a way to do that. We can invite Ukraine to join before the end of "the conflict." Because we could extend the Article 5 security guarantee to all Ukrainian territory currently controlled by Ukraine," Johnson wrote.
Johnson believes that this step would protect most of Ukraine and at the same time help it to return the rest of its territories. The former prime minister believes in the feasibility of his proposal, but emphasizes that its implementation will depend on the determination of NATO countries, primarily the United States.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, in March 2022, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the issue of Ukraine joining NATO is not a question of the near future. Noting that Ukraine, like any country, has the right to decide for itself whether to become part of NATO, Stoltenberg emphasized that the alliance has the right to decide whether to accept a candidate country into its ranks and whether it meets the bloc's requirements.
In July 2023, the head of the Kyiv regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, admitted that his country, since it was waging military action, would not be able to become a member of the alliance until its end. A few days before that, he called the situation absurd and unprecedented in which NATO was not going to accept specific deadlines for inviting Ukraine to the bloc. Zelensky assessed such uncertainty as weakness.
Earlier that month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine's admission to the North Atlantic Alliance threatens Russia's security. The president noted that Kiev's desire to join the military-political bloc was one of the reasons for conducting the special military operation.
In November 2023, Ukrainian politician David Arakhamia admitted that it was Boris Johnson, who was the British Prime Minister at the time, who had disrupted the peace talks in Istanbul and convinced Kiev to continue military action.
