It really doesn’t matter whether Burns agrees or we agree what matters is what Russia thinks. For at least 2 decades the US has known and the US ambassador to Russia has made it clear that NATO expansion up to the Russian border was unacceptable and doing so would be a hard line for them and grounds for them to push back. The fact that the US “promised” that further NATO expansion in post Cold War Europe would NOT happen yet it’s continued unabated along with every other broken promise and treaty makes Russia’s actions seem less likely to be unprovoked aggression and more like self protection. We want to meddle and wash our money in Russia’s backyard and then we cry when they fight back?
It's been explained many times but Ukraine has never been eligible to join NATO. Never Ever.
You might want to tell that to NATO…and Ukraine……..uh, and Russia too.
Ukraine’s future is in NATO. Relations between NATO and Ukraine date back to the early 1990s and have since developed into one of the most substantial of NATO’s partnerships. Since 2014, in the wake of Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea, cooperation has been intensified in critical areas.
