On 7 December 2024 USA president-elect fascist Donald Trump stated that he "can understand the feelings of Russia" (Putin is not Russia) regarding Ukraine's aspiration to join NATO. Commenting on the statement, president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that no quick conclusions should be drawn about the future policy of the White House. (1) In recent years, Ukraine has repeatedly received what it was initially denied: modern NATO weapons, permission to strike deep into Russia with Western long-range weapons, etc. (2) Today, Ukraine must do everything possible to obtain reliable security guarantees, the best of which is NATO membership. (3) The reason for Russia's invasion is not Ukraine's aspiration to join NATO but the unfulfilled imperial ambitions of Putin and his regime. (4) If the Kremlin is allowed to dictate the foreign policy of sovereign states, it will undermine the established international order, which is based on the rule of law rather than the law of force.
