Ukraine should do everything possible to join NATO, as this is the only thing that can protect it from new invasions by the aggressor country Russia. This opinion was shared by former US State Department Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker.

Points of attention

Ukraine should actively work towards joining NATO to save itself from potential Russian invasions.
Putin is not ready for a long war, but he is trying to hide it.
Kurt Volker believes that the end of the war could occur in 2025.

Volker gave Ukraine important advice

As the American diplomat notes, talks about Ukraine's accession to the Alliance do not stop, because everyone understands that NATO is the only thing that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin fears and respects.

He has already become convinced that assurances like the Budapest Memorandum do not work, they are not taken seriously.

He also emphasized that official Kyiv should do everything possible to join the Alliance as soon as possible.

According to Volker, the accession process should begin immediately after the ceasefire.

This is necessary in order to prevent new aggression, — said Kurt Volker.

Can Trump end the war in a few months?

According to Kurt Volker, this is indeed quite realistic, especially considering that Putin knows that his economy is in very bad shape.

The Kremlin cannot ignore the fact that inflation in the Russian Federation has reached over 30%, and interest rates are currently above 21%.

They have a labor shortage, they have a state budget deficit. And they are burning through reserves. And if oil and gas prices fall, they will have even less money in circulation. They are having a hard time replenishing their army… Putin knows this, but he is trying to look cool now to prepare for the upcoming “settlement”…

Kurt Volker does not hide that he is currently optimistic that Trump can stop the war within 2025.

Since the previous meeting, Ukraine's partners have announced over $21 billion in security assistance to Ukraine. This is the result of true unity of the free world.

51 countries from around the world have come together today to help Ukraine. I am grateful to the UK and Germany for their leadership in this meeting. I thank my good friends John Healy and Boris Pistorius personally for ensuring that the work within Ramstein continues.
