Kubilius shared his views on X.
The Commissioner noted that Russia demands Ukraine be kept out of NATO not because it fears an attack from Alliance territory.
"Russia demands ‘no NATO’ for Ukraine. Not because they fear an anti-Russian NATO offensive from Ukrainian territory –but because they fear NATO will defend Ukraine against Russia’s next aggression. ‘No-NATO’ for Ukraine makes it easier for Russia to plan its next aggression," Kubilius emphasized.
- Director of the Center for Defense Strategies Oleksandr Khara believes that no one can forbid Ukraine from aspiring to join NATO, including Trump.
