The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has said they won’t get involved in the chaos being perpetrated in Ukraine by Russia in a statement released recently.
On the flip side, the Secretary of the body, Jens Stoltenberg says NATO still remains committed to keeping channels for diplomacy and deconfliction open, a statement issued out said on Friday after an extraordinary meeting of NATO Ministers of Foreign Affairs.
“We have a responsibility to ensure it does not escalate and spread beyond Ukraine. Because that would be even more devastating and more dangerous. With even more human suffering,” Mr. Stoltenberg said.
Mr. Stoltenberg further said the alliance remained committed to keeping deconfliction channels with Russia open. “But we remain committed to keeping channels for diplomacy and deconfliction open. To avoid any unintended escalation, misunderstanding, or miscalculation,” he said.
Mr. Stoltenberg also mentioned that the security organization had not considered declaring a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
“We’ve agreed that we should not have NATO planes operating over Ukrainian airspace or NATO troops on Ukrainian territory,” Mr. Stoltenberg said.
This address follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calling for NATO and Western allies to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine amid Russia’s ongoing invasion and aerial attacks of its cities.
See some few reactions sampled from NATO’s posture;
Okhai Richard: But they are involved totally! The EU is supplying weapons and aids to Ukraine! They are financing and encouraging people from other countries to join and fight for Ukraine against Russia! In fact, this war is between Russia and the rest of the world! And Russia is not stupid enough to know that,it can never defeat the world! Only 145m people, compared to 8b people,it is cornered! Russia fell into a deep trap set for it by the west! Just to confirm that Russia is a lawless and untrustworthy country! For now, NATO is using the cover of anonymous fighters to support Ukraine against little Russia! It is big trouble for little Russia!
Folajin Akeem: We told social media analyst that, nothing will befall Russia because he has done his homework very well. They dare not. Russia have nuclear weapons so also some of Russia’s allies like Pakistan, India, Iran, China and North Korea. Attacking Russia would allow some of these gentle giants to settle scores with United States and other western powers and no one wants that
