Last week President @ZelenskyyUa presented his Victory Plan. I call for immediate decisions that would lead to 🇺🇦 victory. There‘s no time to hesitate.
The invitation for #Ukraine to join #NATO must be our top priority. Here's why🧵:
#Ukraine not being a member of #NATO was a green light for Russia to start its full scale invasion.
Russia's goal is to keep 🇺🇦 in the gray zone, so an invitation to join NATO would be a strategic loss. It would weaken the Kremlin's positions& push it to the negotiations table.
While an invitation for 🇺🇦 to join #NATO doesn't mean immediate membership, it sends a clear signal to Russia that the West will not back down on #Ukraine& its membership in the Alliance is truly irreversible.
It would not lead to escalation or WWIII, but would save us from it.
In the long term, #Ukraine's #NATO membership is the only guarantee of lasting peace& the only true security guarantee.
When 🇺🇦 wins the war, it will have world‘s most battle-hardened military, which could significantly strengthen NATO's eastern flank& the entire Alliance.
