Ukraine’s NATO Path: Irreversible or Illusion?
Kaja Kallas, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs, declared Ukraine’s NATO membership irreversible, asserting it as the most effective and cost-efficient security guarantee. This assertion followed an EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting where a potential €30 billion military aid package for Ukraine was discussed, though delivery may involve individual member state contributions due to internal opposition. Kallas emphasized Ukraine’s strong military as a compelling reason for NATO inclusion, highlighting the implications of alternative security guarantees. The final decision regarding NATO membership and the aid package will be further addressed at an upcoming EU summit.
