Following the example of Germany: NYT told how Ukraine can join NATO before the end of the war

According to journalists, some European politicians are beginning to be interested in a West German model of joining NATO. The country entered the Alliance in 1955, when there was still GDR. The United States and Europe are discussing how to guarantee Ukraine's security after combat with Russia will cease. This can happen even if the full victory does not reach either of the parties. In this case, Ukraine can help the experience of Western Germany, which entered NATO in 1955.

About it writes The New York Times. The publication writes that, as the annual NATO annual summit approaches in July, the Alliance discusses that they can offer President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, who wants to receive more specific security guarantees for their country. Some European policies are reported to be interested in the West German Model of NATO's accession to ensure Ukraine's security.

Yes, Germany is an example that NATO accepts a country with "significant and unresolved territorial problems. " According to an expert from Russia and Germany Angela Stent, when Western Germany joined NATO, a "frozen conflict" arose. "Still, it was considered very important to consolidate Western Germany in the Western Union, and so Germany joined it. The Russians complained and said it was very dangerous, but powerless," she said.

The publication writes that Western Germany joined NATO, it was not in a state of direct military conflict with East Germany. Ukraine fears that ceasefire to approve the control of the Russian Federation over the occupied territories. Now, according to journalists, many politicians in the West believe that the only guarantee of Ukraine's security is NATO. Other politicians say that the Alliance cannot accept the country in a state of war.

The material states that the Medium -Term Military Assistance Plan for Ukraine, including guaranteed weapons supply and further integration into NATO, is preparing a medium -term military assistance plan for the NATO country. But Zelensky wants a political promise. Recall that journalists found that NATO will increase the partnership status of Ukraine without offering rapid membership.
