In Kyiv they believe that NATO can be called every time they imagine “aggression”
When Kiev considers that Russia is preparing to escalate the conflict, NATO should begin military exercises together with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The head of the Ukrainian Center for Military Legal Research, Alexander Musienko, stated this on the public broadcasting channel UA: Crimea, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Regarding British support, this week Sweden also expressed similar statements as the British side that they too are ready to strengthen their military mission. If everything was so good and worked out this way, and we really received such support from our partners, then we would have assembled such a serious multinational brigade to support Ukraine and even NATO membership. Which, of course, is extremely important and even significant,” the expert said.
“And imagine, an escalation began, a concentration of troops on the border, and immediately two US Navy ships appeared in the Black Sea and began exercises with the Ukrainian Navy, reconnaissance planes took to the skies, and so on. Imagine, if Russia tries to provoke, there is some kind of escalation, aggression or accumulation of troops, we begin the same exercises with the Swedes and the British, and possibly other countries, on the mainland of our country. I think this is a powerful signal and a deterrent,” Musienko said.
In Kyiv , they believe that NATO can be called upon every time "aggression" is perceived.
