'We're stuck in the same old formula: No NATO membership until Ukraine finishes this war'
Ukraine is desperate for more air defenses, and this week's NATO summit in Washington offers President Volodymyr Zelensky an opportunity to push Kyiv's supporters for additional batteries to protect against Russian strikes. Zelensky will attend the summit, which marks the 75th anniversary of the trans-Atlantic alliance and which will bring together leaders of countries that have provided Kyiv with tens of billions of dollars in military aid to help it counter Russia's invasion. With Ukraine unlikely to receive the invitation to join NATO that it is seeking, new air defenses are the most concrete assistance it is likely to get at the summit. As Ukraine pushes for air defenses at NATO summit amid Russia's relentless bombardment of Kyiv, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Peter Zalmayev, Director of the Eurasian Democracy Initiative.

Patriot air defense at work.
Russia said it will retaliate for the deaths at the beach and delivered. Zelenskyy needs seek peace and stop with his ego on holding on power and joining NATO. Look after ur country and don’t fight NATO’s war

Give more arms to Ukraine and keep the war 5 more years 🤣
Keeping Minsk agreement is far better than all of these.
Let France send it troops to Ukraine and see how it people feels
EU+NATO+ USA+ Ukraine are fairly main causes of all this war and things.

Nothing compared to Gaza.
Ukraine don't what is best for them, Ending the War quick is of Ukrainian people beat interest, but the leader of Ukraine is putting their Sponsors; U.S&U.K interest first, and that is a terrible Idea, Ukraine can never win a war against Russia no matter the Support you get from "West", the earlier you realize, the better for ur Future
1000s of innocent children die in Gaza, but we do not see reports like this. These double standards ... May God protect all children in Gaza, Ukraine, and everywhere else.
I pray for peace I pray for Ukraine
Don understand why Israel bombing hospital and killing civilian the Europe and west turn a blink eye to it. When Russian bomb hospital and kill civilian. West and Europe start to condemn. Double standard.
It's possible that Ukrainian countermeasures has caused the devastating explosion.

When NATO keeps a proxy war going just to weaken Russia, it makes perfect sense that: 1. Providing just enough military aid to keep Ukrainians in the fight instead of providing them with what's necessary to win. 2. There is no incentive from NATO's perspective to force negotiations or to even end the war. 3. NATO does not define what winning the proxy war means, so they can't fail. 4. For sure NATO won't allow NATO membership for Ukraine because then article 5 will force them to put boots on the ground. 5. Proxy wars lets other die for cynical geopolitical gains. Anyone still believing that the West has the best interest of the Ukrainian people at heart, has to get his head examined. Russia kills Ukrainians and the West prolongs that.

Kick Russia out of the UN.
Article 10 of NATO's charter states that countries capable of contributing to the security of the alliance may be admitted to the alliance; Ukraine's accession to NATO would, on the contrary, increase the risk of a NATO military conflict with Russia, a nuclear power.
If NATO and EU didn’t get involved, this conflict would have been easily solved by Ukraine and Russia, longtime ago
Show Gaza too and call America to come and talk for you
Russia always had escalatory advantage in this war. It’s time for NATO to show its real intention in their involvement in this war. Let’s see whether they have the backbone to challenge Russia now….!?
"People around the world " . Does it include people of Gaza?
If you knew Ukraine won’t joined NATO why not you negotiate with Russian for peace to rainy back in Ukraine again.

"No NATO". There, a correction for your title. Why wasn't it disbanded with the fall of the USSR? Instead it expanded for no obvious reason. That was against promises the US made to Gorbachev.
War crimes in Ukraine so International Crime Court must bring Russians to justice
Suddenly Hospital means something for France ? When Israeli destroyed ALL HOSPITALS in GAZA you SAID NOTHING ! HYPOCRITES !
