“Why are we in NATO? Because we are afraid of Russia. And the only thing that really works is the only guarantee of security that works is NATO’s umbrella,” she said.
Trump, who violated Putin’s isolation by a phone call earlier than this month, said on Wednesday that Ukraine could “forget about” joining NATO at any settlement, explaining it as follows: “I think it is probably the reason why it all started.”
“These accusations are absolutely not true,” Callas said, answering questions about Trump’s statement. “This is a Russian narrative that we should not buy for,” she said.
“My question is why we should give Russia what they want, in addition to what they have already done – attacked Ukraine, annexed the territory, occupied the territory, and now they offer something in addition to it,” she said.
“Imagine that after September 11 in America, you would sit with all the bin lasacked and said,” Okay, what do you want? “I mean it is impossible,” Callas said.
Prehistory:
- Russia insists that the United States has promised not to expand NATO at the end of the Cold War.
- Some American diplomats of that era deny this statement, although some of them also warn that Ukraine’s membership in NATO would be a red line for Moscow.
- The US President still said that the reason for the full -scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine was allegedly the Alliance, namely, the promise that Ukraine will once become its member.
- Before that, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset also excluded Ukraine’s membership in NATO as part of the “peaceful settlement” of the war.
- Ukraine, meanwhile, continues to insist that it does not change the position on membership in the North Atlantic Alliance.
