NATO’s Shocking U-Turn: Alliance Backtracks on Ukraine Membership, Dealing Kyiv Another Setback

The member countries of the NATO alliance including European countries are reportedly withdrawing from their plan under which military aid was planned to be given to Ukraine. Earlier there were reports that in case of a peace agreement, European countries would deploy troops and provide military aid to protect Ukraine from future Russian aggression, but now this plan seems to be falling apart. Ukraine has suffered a major setback due to this move of NATO countries.

NATO’s Shocking U-Turn: Alliance Backtracks on Ukraine Membership

According to News Agency Reuters, European leaders are now considering the challenges of sending troops proposed by Britain and France in the changed geopolitical circumstances, and are working on a plan to reverse it. It is believed that European countries are now withdrawing from their proposal because US-Russia relations have improved in recent times under the Trump administration and Moscow is gradually coming closer to Washington. On the other hand, Ukraine has now started retreating in the battlefield and Russia seems to be moving forward.

Why the U-turn of European countries?
An unnamed European diplomat told Reuters that European countries are stepping back and trying to change what they were doing or trying to do and that may be the smart move at the moment. Another diplomat told Newsweek, "When Ukraine was in a better position, the idea of ​​sending troops seemed attractive but now, with Ukraine weakened on the ground and with the US administration, the European plan is no longer very attractive."

Paris plan in limbo
Let us tell you that on March 11 this month, a meeting of military officials from more than 30 countries was held in Paris, the capital of France. It was called the Paris Plan, in which the creation of an international army was discussed. The purpose of such an army was to prevent Russia from launching a second attack after the ceasefire was implemented in Ukraine and to protect in case of an attack. The Chiefs of Staff or their representatives of almost all the countries of the NATO alliance participated in this meeting. However, America was not invited to it.
