Zelensky’s Flip-Flop On Ceasefire Terms Is A Faux Concession
Andrew Korybko | Ukraine will still remain a de facto member of NATO so long as its security guarantees with the bloc’s members remain in effect. | Zelensky recently flip-flopped on ceasefire terms by signaling that he’d accept a cessation of hostilities in exchange for Ukraine being admitted to NATO, though without Article 5 applying to all the territory that he claims as his own while the conflict remains ongoing. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry then released a statement about how their country won’t accept any alternative to NATO membership. The Kremlin predictably described this demand as unacceptable.
