The following report is by ReMix:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reacted angrily after NATO member states refused to offer his country an invitation, or even a clear timetable to join the alliance at the two-day summit in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius this week, despite months of intensive campaigning by Kyiv.
NATO makes Ukraine safer, and Ukraine makes NATO stronger.
I came here today with belief in a decision, in partners, and in a strong NATO that does not doubt, does not waste time, and defies all aggressors.
I wish that this faith becomes a certainty, a certainty in the decisions that we all deserve and that all our soldiers, all our citizens, all mothers, and children expect. Is that such a great wish?
Zelensky told a crowd of thousands in downtown Vilnius on Tuesday, expressing disappointment that his country was not offered a formal invitation.
The Ukrainian president spoke shortly after NATO members agreed that Ukraine would only be able to join the organization if the Allies agreed and certain conditions were met. Earlier in the day, Zelensky said on his micro-blog that the lack of a timetable for Ukraine’s accession to NATO was absurd.
The event was also attended by Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, who presented Zelensky with a bullet-riddled Ukrainian flag, which was then hoisted on a pole. The flag was once pinned to a tank that took part in the fighting in Bakhut. It was brought to Vilnius by 33 Ukrainian and Lithuanian runners, symbolizing the hope that Ukraine could become the newest member of the alliance.
Ukraine is buying us time with its blood so that we can prepare and give a strong answer to Russia.
Said Nauseda.
In a long, 90-paragraph statement issued on the first day of the summit, NATO said,
We reaffirm the commitment we made at the 2008 Summit in Bucharest that Ukraine will become a member of NATO, and today we recognise that Ukraine’s path to full Euro-Atlantic integration has moved beyond the need for the Membership Action Plan.
It did not, however, extend a formal invitation to the country, ending with a somewhat vague commitment:
We will be in a position to extend an invitation to Ukraine to join the alliance when Allies agree and conditions are met.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Talk is cheap: actions speak louder than words. There still may come a day when Ukraine perhaps joins NATO, officially, and not this nascent pseudo-alliance they’ve had for years; but for now, it is clear that the NATO leaders are making it clear that they are not truly interested in actually helping Ukraine.
We who know what’s actually going on, within reason, understand that we are being berated with daily propaganda in the mainstream that is not even remotely close to what is actually occurring. From what I can gather based on sources outside of the Western front, both from Eastern and independent, that Ukraine militarily is finished and they have basically exhausted all their forces, and a lot of the U.S. and NATO supplied artillery has been destroyed, or at least the earlier packages that were gifted to them.
Never say never of course, but it appears that the NATO henchmen know that Ukraine is a loss and has been a loss since the conflict broke loose. Perhaps Mr. Actor Zelensky is finally figuring out that has no real allies here, and was just their chess piece…
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
Proverbs 27:14
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
