Nato members have pledged their support for an “irreversible path” to future membership for Ukraine, as well as more aid.
While a formal timeline for it to join the military alliance was not agreed at a summit in Washington DC, the military alliance’s 32 members said they had “unwavering” support for Ukraine’s war effort.
Nato has also announced further integration with Ukraine’s military and members have committed €40bn ($43.3bn, £33.7bn) in aid in the next year, including F-16 fighter jets and air defence support.
The bloc’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said: “Support to Ukraine is not charity - it is in our own security interest.”
I’m perfectly aware of that, which is why you have to look at material conditions.
If a similar coup were to happen to Zelenskyy, do you think protestors would not be shot? Regardless, we’ll see how long being a pro-west authoritarian state works. The west likes to pump and dump their supposed allies.

If you paid attention to Ukrainian politics any beyond the war you would know that protests in Ukraine have continued throughout the entirety of the war., that Union’s and other NGO’s that don’t cooperate with Russia still function unhindered by the government, and that all non-Russian sponsored opposition parties still function legally.
But please tell me how that compares to Russia where all opposition to the government has been crushed, and where it’s literally illegal to be gay publicly.
Shocking, protests and organizations that don’t threaten the current power structure don’t get violently cracked down. Just so you know, this isn’t a thing specific to Ukrainian politics.
