While Ukraine’s eventual NATO membership is seen as “inevitable”.”, the country currently faces challenges in meeting the full range of NATO membership criteria due to the ongoing conflict with Russia.

However, NATO and its members are actively engaged in discussions and negotiations to address these issues and potentially accelerate Ukraine’s path to membership. At the Vilnius Summit in 2023, NATO decided that Ukraine could join the alliance without first completing a membership action plan.

Earlier this month, Elon Musk warned that Ukraine’s push for NATO membership could lead the world to a “nuclear apocalypse,” citing the 1983 film “The Day After” as a grim reminder of the possible consequences.

Meanwhile, a Russian Security Council official warned last year that Ukraine’s accession to NATO could inevitably lead to a World War III scenario, echoing President Vladimir Putin’s warning against “nuclear blackmail” from the West.

Just last month, on March 2, 2024, Putin warned the West during his annual “The state of Russia” speech.

Clearly, the Biden administration ignored this warning.

Putin noted that while he accused Russia of planning to attack NATO allies in Europe, the Western allies “selected targets to attack our territory” and “discussed the possibility of sending a NATO contingent to Ukraine .”

“We remember the fate of those who sent their troop contingents to the territory of our country,” the Russian leader said in an apparent allusion to the failed invasions of Napoleon and Hitler. “Now the consequences for the potential invaders will be much more tragic.”

In a two-hour speech to an audience of lawmakers and top officials, Putin cast Western leaders as reckless and irresponsible and declared that the West must keep in mind that “we also have the weapons that can hit targets on their territory, and what they can do.” now suggest and frighten the world with everything that raises the real threat of a nuclear conflict that will mean the destruction of our civilization.”
