NATO allies rejected Ukraine’s demand for no-fly zones on Friday, saying they were increasing support but that stepping in directly would lead to a broader, even more brutal European war so far limited to Russia’s assault on its neighbour.
Meanwhile, during an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF, Germany's Chancellor, Olaf Scholtz said:
“Ukraine’s membership is not on The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)’s agenda.”
Furthermore, Scholtz stated that he had made it clear in Moscow:
“... that this option [Ukraine’s membership of NATO] is not on the table and will not take place ...
While not publicly stated, one can be sure that a further consideration in the minds of NATO allies is resistance throughout the West to being made host to a growing multitude of Ukrainian war refugees, already exceeding one million in number.
The message to Ukraine is clear: call it quits -- end the bloodshed which, however valorous, must end in Ukrainian defeat.
