Zelenski celebrated his country's fresh safety pact with the United States on Thursday as "Bringing our relation to the level of actual alliance"but the reality is that it is only a consolation for the US that does not approve Ukraine's membership of NATO, which would give them much more crucial common defence obligations. Full text can be read Here.and information sheet Here.and after doing so, the reader will know that The United States is simply formalising the support they supply Ukraine since February 2022.
The United States is not obliged to send troops to Ukraine if it enters the next circular of war activities with Russia any time after the ongoing yet end. Of course, Article 5 of NATO besides does not oblige the same, but the United States would be under much more force to straight assist Ukraine if they were an authoritative military ally, That's why Russia has always been so powerfully opposed to this country's membership. The latest pact so maintains Ukraine's function as an anti-Russian NATO puppet.
As noted in mid-January, after Ukraine reached the first specified agreement with Britain, "expected by Ukraine 'security guarantees' are not what they were meant to be". The precedent established by this pact prepared the ground for all subsequent, including the second pact with the United States. The bomb Biden dropped in early June about that peace in Ukraine "Doesn't mean NATO, they're part of NATO", leaves no uncertainty that the US prefers to keep this country out of the bloc.
From an American Perspective Ukraine has much more strategical utility, acting as an anti-Russian NATO puppet than as an authoritative military ally, the US would feel compelled to straight support in the event of another conflict with Russia due to a public explanation of its obligations under Article 5.
In another words, Warreplacement NATO with Russia through Ukraine would end if the country joined the bloc, but from Russia's position Kiev could unilaterally resume it in order to provoke a serious crisis.
Neither the US nor Russia want Ukraine in NATO, any another reason, but the United States wants to proceed militarisation of Ukraine so that it can proceed to wage a NATO-Russia replacement war, while Russia wants to demilitarize Ukraine to put an end to NATO's mediated threats to its security. This natural friction between the objectives of these 2 fuels an ongoing conflict that is likely to drag on due to the fact that they are incapable to accomplish their maximum objectives, but besides do not want to limit them.
NATO cannot strategically defeat Russia by Ukraine due to its failure in "logistics race"/"War on exhaustion"in which Russia produces presently 3 times as many missiles for a 4th of the cost, so it can be satisfied to proceed the replacement war only until Russia reaches a breakthrough. As far as Russia is concerned, it cannot full demilitarize Ukraine due to the fact that NATO can conventionalintervene to asymmetrical breakdown The country, if there is simply a breakthrough, thus keeping part of the militarized Ukraine under NATO's umbrella.
However, this script may form the basis for a ceasefire agreement if NATO forces stay west of Dniepr, while Ukraine withdraws its dense weapons behind the river to demilitarize the east bank, which is politically under Kiev's control. Russia may recognise a powerful buffer zone, which would have been created in the wake of its footsteps, as an acceptable compromise on its maximumist nonsubjective of demilitarisation of all Ukraine, provided NATO has silently recognised its fresh borders.
Although NATO is reluctant to take work for any part of Ukraine, as the United States wants to avoid creating facts made in the form of a bloc membership of this country, it can satisfy this "zone of influence" on these conditions after all that has invested so far alternatively than hazard losing it. The fresh US safety Agreement with Ukraine besides increases the chances of this happening, as there is now more force on the US than always to prevent Russia from causing a strategical defeat of NATO through Ukraine.
Ukraine's actual NATO membership, which would have taken place if part of the country had been under its control in the described asymmetric division scenario, would inactive be the same strategical dilemma both the US and Russia wanted to avoid, keeping it outside the bloc for various reasons. Consequently, it would be the work of the US to force its lawyer to retreat dense weapons into Western Ukraine in order to reduce the chances of a unilateral attack in Russia to provoke the crisis.
Returning to the previously touched position of each party, the US compromise would consist in a abrupt halt to the substitute war and silent designation of Russia's fresh borders, while Russia would accept that part of Ukraine would stay militarized, but only in exchange for a immense buffer zone. Although this compromise is rational and pragmatic, it cannot be taken for granted that their decision-makers have the political will to implement it, let alone being aware of this proposal.
There is besides a danger that World War III may erupt due to miscalculation during the short phase of the divided of this scenario, if ad hoc is carried out between NATO, Russia and Ukraine. Therefore, it is so crucial that a truly neutral 3rd party, specified as India, aid coordinate the first party's intervention up to Dniepr, the restraint of the another organization in not utilizing to the maximum degree the breakthrough that could origin the abovementioned situation, and the withdrawal by the 3rd organization of dense arms across the river in specified a case.
The best scenarios seldom occur, so the mentioned series of events will be mostly ad hoc, although with a selected group of countries working individually to transfer each side of the red lines to the another side to aid control each other's escalation. If NATO crosses Dniepr or Russia will usage its breakthrough to re-route to Kiev or even Odessa, their counterpart can escalate in self-defense (falsely perceived in the case of NATO) and thus provoke a major crisis.
Only if NATO-Russia tensions stay manageable in a groundbreaking intervention scenario, the Ukrainian side can enter the game and then order Kiev to retreat dense weapons behind the river to complete the asymmetric division of the country by creating a immense buffer zone. Having said that, NATO may not issue specified an order or Kiev may refuse, in which case Russia would most likely proceed its attack until NATO crosses Dniepr or Ukraine withdraws its dense weapons.
Returning to the point, while the US safety Pact with Ukraine is indeed a consolation due to the deficiency of approval of NATO membership, this agreement paradoxically increases the likelihood that Ukraine will become a de facto NATO member, even though the US wants to avoid it with these measures. The United States will be under more force than always to approve NATO's conventional intervention if Russia reaches a breakthrough alternatively than hazard losing all of Ukraine, which could origin any of them to fall under NATO control.
By formalising existing US support for Ukraine, which aims to consolidate NATO's replacement war with Russia, the United States raises its reputation in conflict to a point where they cannot accept Russia by inflicting a strategical defeat on them through the full demilitarisation of Ukraine. It is so more likely than always that it will either straight intervene if Russia reaches a breakthrough, or at least authorise its NATO allies to do so, thus escalating everything towards uncertain targets that could lead to a ceasefire or a planet War III.
