If Ukraine was in NATO, would Russia have attacked? Expert on Ukraine’s road to NATO.

- Vladimir Putin has cited NATO enlargement as one of the reasons for Russia's attack on Ukraine.
But what if Ukraine was part of NATO? Would Russia have attacked a member of the Alliance? Would we have a NATO Russia war instead of a Russia vs Ukraine war?
Today we try to answer these and other questions, such as the perspective of Ukraine’s membership in NATO and when will Ukraine join NATO, or what are the lessons for Ukraine from other Eastern European countries that joined the Alliance.

Simple answer: No.
It's a dumb question and it didn't really want a response. lol
Of course they would not attack.

If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.
Congrats for what you’re doing! Another interesting episode! 👍
Absolutely not. The only reason he fought Ukraine in NATO was because he always planned to invade Ukraine but his plans would be destroyed if Ukraine was in NATO.
No but instead they would have attacked Georgia. In this situation the capability of Russia to undertake war can be destroyed for several generations.
Huh? Russia already owned Georgia. Were you just born this century?
Agree.
100% no
It's a dumb question and it didn't really want a response. 🤣🤣
@@TheRealBillBob shut up u muppet.
Dość rosyjskiego imperializmu i kolonializmu ⚡ Ukraina bez Putina ⚡ Demokratyczna Rosja też bez Putina 🙂👍
NATO i Unia Europejska bez Ukrainy! Te pijawki i tak już biorą garściami zbyt dużo pieniędzy od wszystkich krajów zachodnich. Ci niewdzięcznicy mają nas totalnie w dupie.
NATO i Unia Europejska bez Ukrainy. Przecież to są same pijawki.
@@alicjastanczyk5026 tak, tak Wania 😁. Na front Wania zginąć za Putinland! 😁

O tym, iwan, to my zdecydujemy.
No
It's rhetorical question lol
Good video .. Ukraine should had been in NATO. Russia wouldn't have pulled that mess.
nope
as you increase the number of 'insured' parties, there eventually comes a point where you will experience diminishing returns , i.e., each party will average less coverag/benefit whether that be monetary compensation or military protection....it's simple math no matter how you want to spin it...
No, the benefits are established by policy in the contract between states of the alliance. In opposing an aggressor who invades one state, the larger the alliance’s resources, the better.
Ukraine must not listen Russia,
0:24 - You have a vastly outdated map. Crimea has been a part of Russian territory for 10 years already. Do you guys live in the early 2000's or do you not have TV at home and you don't know what is happening in the world?
Ukraine paid them to pretend that Crimea is somehow still in Ukrainian hands. Those guys live in an imaginary world ^ ^'
Ukrainians pay those youtubers to join them in their imaginary world
It's like pretending that your son, who died 10 years ago, is still alive in his bedroom xd wtf
Russian annexation is illegal and isn't internationally recognized, to say nothing about the ethnic cleansing carried out by Russia there.
The referendum is not recognized by most countries, mainly due to the presence of Russian forces. Thirteen members of the United Nations Security Council voted in favor of a resolution declaring the referendum invalid, but Russia vetoed it and China abstained. A United Nations General Assembly resolution was later adopted, by a vote of 100 in favor vs. 11 against with 58 abstentions, which declared the referendum invalid and affirmed Ukraine's territorial integrity.
Yes, they attack before ukraine join NATO. Oh wait! That what they did!! I swear, this billion dollar think tank 😂
YES.
They should join NATO for protection it’s like having insurance 🇺🇦🇬🇧
They can't join NATO xdummy. haven't you paid attention?
No it isn't. Not against a Nuclear state like Russia. You think Germany, France and the US are going to send their troops to be disintegrated for Estonia or Lithuania if Russia invaded them? 🤣🤣
Who on Earth is looking for insurance for flood, when the house is already flooded. Oh come on. You join military aliances at the time of peace exactly for that reason. So that one day you would not wake up with wet pants, like they did.
Ukraine will need to give up its NATO ambitions for the same reasons Russia gave up its Cuba ambitions.
I don't know why this isn't understood.
I'd say a more relevant question is why you don't understand that is not an option?--🧐
Not understood because one side feels a sense of entitlement and superiority. We own the world, make the rules which we dont need to follow. Its called rules based world order. Russia is teaching the world how to stand up to bullies. They will cry, moan and go back to their homes and Ukraine will learn not to keep bad company
Because they think the public is stupid and can't remember history. For the most part they are right.
@@leifiseland1218 1) Because they are currently fighting a war. 2) there are criteria. It's not brain surgery.
If Ukraine decided to host nuclear weapons, then it would be comparable, but until then, it is not.
Ukraine must join NATO,and NATO must protect Ukraine,
Why would NATO protect a Non-Nato country? Countries join military aliances at the time of peace for exactly that reason. Please come back here when you are sober.
Nobody believe Russia,and the whole world don’t believe Russia,once Russia took Crimea2014.the reason Ukraine must join NATO,and NATO must protect Ukraine,
Ukraine is not part of Russia,Russia is Russia,Ukraine is Ukraine people,talk peace,Ukraine must join NATO,
Why is Russia our enemy?
Ukraine’s war of defense is by it's nature legal, you have the natural right to live, so you have the natural right to defend yourself. There is no such right for Russia’s war of conquest. There is no natural right to conquer lands and people, so a war of conquest is by it's definition illegal.
@@christianevanherck6023 and what does that have anything about Russia being my enemy
@@mvs9122 One week ago you called Russia "our enemy", and I explained why Russia is a threat to many countries! Now you call Russia "my enemy", that way you're speaking for yourself, but I have no idea why Russia is "your enemy".
@@christianevanherck6023 i don't think Russia should be treated as an enemy of the west or even an adversary. West should respect Russia geopolitical interests and concerns. West should also trade with Russia to he extent that is economically beneficial to west. This is my POV
@@mvs9122 Your POV is totally unrealistic! In the past 15 years, Russia invaded two of its neighbors, Ukraine and Georgia, interceded militarily in Syria, and spent millions to curry political favor in Albania, Bosnia, Montenegro and other countries.
If Ukraine had been in NATO in 2014 there is absolutely no way that putler would have attacked them.Slava Ukraini.
ukraine was russia 5 minutes ago in the 90s when was it going to just appear in nato? what the hell is this video
Ukraine is an independent state since 1991. Poland joined in 1999 so Ukraine had a chance as well but did not deliver on time.
@@Blanka1100 Ukraine was simply never interested in that, due to their shortsightedness. Baltic states joined NATO 20 years ago in 2004.
@@alicjastanczyk5026 It seems to be exacty the case here. When Ukraine woke up it was too late.
@@Blanka1100 Ukraine had to deal with a lot of struggles because of Russia's infiltration and manipulation. Russia tried to get Yanukovych elected in 2004, and that fraud triggered the Orange Revolution. After 2004, Russia began a campaign to create separatist movements in Donbas and cranked up the propaganda targeted at those areas. After Russia got Yanukovich elected in 2010, Russia controlled Ukraine. In 2014, Yanukovych fled to Russia because he didn't want to face charges of corruption and treason, he was impeached by the parliament in absentia.
