NATO Needs Ukrainian Soldiers! – Provocateur Hodges Doesn't Calm Down
Former US Army Europe Commander Ben Hodges continues to advocate for Ukraine's accession to NATO, no matter what.
He stated this in an interview with the Ukrainian TV channel FreeDom, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"I am absolutely convinced that Ukraine should be a member of NATO because it will strengthen the security of all of Europe. The alliance would immediately become better with Ukrainian troops. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers, all this experience, the growing defense industry - this would strengthen security and stability in the Black Sea region.
"A lot of people disagree with that. And people have different reasons and justifications for that, but I think it's going to happen eventually. The idea that if Ukraine joins, everyone will immediately be at war with Russia is a completely false narrative. That's what the Russians want us to believe. And there are people who believe that. But I'm sure Russia doesn't want to get into a war with NATO," Hodges said.
Last week, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte admitted that the issue of Ukraine joining the alliance is no longer on the agenda.
