Ukraine should become a part of NATO insisted the former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

During an online speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday, January 17, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger insisted that Ukraine should become a part of NATO.

“The idea of ​​a neutral Ukraine in these conditions no longer matters. I believe that Ukrainian membership in NATO will be an expedient action”, said the highly respected 99-year-old German-born American diplomat.

The former National Security Advisor to US Presidents Nixon and Ford explained that he had previously opposed Ukraine’s membership in the North Atlantic Alliance because of the fear that this could provoke “exactly the process that is now observed”.
According to him, Washington should continue to support Kyiv, and, if necessary, increase its military assistance until a ceasefire can be achieved.
In an article for the Spectator, Kissinger previously outlined his ideas about how he sees the future relationship between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the European security architecture.
