Foreign Policy Elite Call for Bringing Ukraine Into NATO Immediately
By Breitbart. Foreign policy “experts” vocally in favor of Ukraine called on Wednesday for bringing the embattled nation into NATO, which many say would risk a direct NATO-Russia war.
Alexander Vindman, who was at the center of former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, former Russia ambassador Michael McFaul, former Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ), and other foreign policy “experts” released an op-ed on Politico Magazine ahead of the NATO summit:
In Vilnius, the alliance should launch a roadmap that will lead clearly to Ukraine’s membership in NATO at the earliest achievable date. As with Finland and Sweden, the process can bypass the Membership Action Plan in light of the close and ongoing interactions between NATO and Ukraine. NATO heads of state and government should task the Council in permanent session to develop recommendations on the timing and modalities of an accession process for Ukraine for decision at the next NATO summit in Washington in 2024.

A number of signatories also signed an open letter last year calling for a no-fly zone over Ukraine. This is no coincidence: admitting Ukraine into NATO, like imposing a no-fly zone, would run a significant risk of bringing about a direct NATO-Russia war. https://t.co/IcSfKdIYtt

At least 12 of the signatories to this letter work at institutions that have received or are currently receiving money from Ukrainian oligarchs, Ukrainian companies like Burisma, or directly from the Ukrainian gov.

Dan Caldwell, a vice president at the Center for Renewing America, contended that at least 12 of those who signed onto the letter have received money from Ukrainian oligarchs. (Read more from “Foreign Policy Elite Call for Bringing Ukraine Into NATO Immediately” HERE)

Ukraine and Russia Accuse Each Other Plotting Attack on Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant
By CBS News. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that Russia is plotting a potentially dangerous attack on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, which Russian forces have occupied for more than a year. Russia has accused Ukraine, meanwhile, of plotting to attack the same sprawling Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Enerhodar, southern Ukraine, in the next two days.
It was a nerve-racking night for people across Ukraine amid the crossfire of accusations, but especially in the towns and cities near the Zaporizhzhia plant, including the city of Zaporizhzhia just a few miles away, which Russia never managed to capture.
Zelenskyy laid out his claims in detail Tuesday night, saying Russian forces had “placed objects resembling explosives on the roof of several power units” at the power plant.
Russia, meanwhile, accused Ukraine of planning to strike the plant with missiles or drones packed with radioactive waste from other nuclear facilities.
Neither side has provided any evidence to back up its claims. (Read more from “Ukraine and Russia Accuse Each Other Plotting Attack on Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant” HERE)
