The conflict in Ukraine should not spill over to the neighbors. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, quoted by TASS.
According to the head of the alliance, NATO must do everything possible to ensure that the aggravation in Ukraine is limited to the territory of the country and does not go beyond its borders.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he had “cooled” on the issue of the country’s accession to NATO. “Regarding NATO, I lost interest in this issue after we realized that NATO is not ready to accept Ukraine. The alliance is afraid of contradictory things and confrontation with the Russian Federation,” the leader of Ukraine said, he was quoted by RIA Novosti.
Recall that on February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR), and on February 24 he made an emergency appeal to the Russians and announced a special military operation in Donbass. In his speech, he stated that “circumstances require decisive action from Russia” and stressed that “Russia will not allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons.”
In response to Russia’s actions, Western countries (USA, Canada, European Union, Great Britain, Japan) announced new, tougher sanctions against the Russian Federation, including financial and economic ones. Later, the EU countries and the United States agreed to disconnect Russian banks that fell under sanctions from the international system of interbank transactions and information exchange SWIFT. In addition, it was decided to freeze the assets of the Bank of Russia, which will create difficulties for its use of international reserves. EU countries also pledged to take steps to limit the sale of citizenship — the so-called “golden passports” that allow wealthy Russians connected to the Russian government to become citizens of EU states and access their financial systems. In addition, the European Union, the United States, Canada and a number of other countries have closed the sky for Russian aircraft.
