Simbiso yakakurumbira yoMunyori weHurumende James Baker kuMutungamiriri weSoviet Gorbachev yaingova muenzaniso mumwe chete.

Pashure pokunge dzimwe nyika nomwe dzokuEastern Europe dzabatana neNATO muna 2004, kusanganisira nyika dzeBaltic dzeEstonia, Latvia neLithuaniaich, dzakanga dzatova chikamu cheyaimbova Soviet Union, ruvengo rwakawedzera.

Muna 2007, kuMunich Security Conference, Putin Abvunzwa"Chii chakaitika kune vimbiso dzakaitwa nevatinoshanda navo vekuMadokero mushure mekuparadzwa kweWarsaw Pact?"

Asi yaive 2008 NATO Summit, apo NATO yakafuratira kupikisa kwakasimba kweRussia uye yakavimbisa kuti Ukraine ichabatana neNATO, iyo yakanyatso kuridza mabhero.

William Burns, panguva iyoyo mumiriri weUS kuMoscow, akatumira chimbichimbi memo kuna Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. "Kupinda kweUkraine muNATO ndiyo inopenya kupfuura ese matsvuku eRussia elite (kwete chete Putin)," akanyora kudaro. "Mumakore anopfuura maviri nehafu ehurukuro nevatambi vakakosha vekuRussia, kubva kune vanodhonza matinji munzvimbo dzakasviba dzeKremlin kusvika kune vatsoropodzi vakapinza vaPutin, handisati ndawana chero munhu anoona Ukraine muNATO sechinhu chero chipi zvacho kunze kwekunanga. dambudziko kune zvido zveRussia. "

Panzvimbo yekunzwisisa njodzi yekuyambuka "yakajeka kupfuura ese matsvuku," Mutungamiri George W. Bush vakaramba vachisundira kuburikidza nekupikisa kwemukati mukati meNATO kuti vazivise, mu2008, kuti Ukraine yaizopihwa kuve nhengo, asi pazuva risingataurwe. Stoltenberg angadai akatsvaga kupokana kwazvino kumashure kune iyo Summit yeNATO- Summit yakaitika zvakanaka pamberi peEuromaidan coup ya2014 kana kutorwa kweRussia neCrimea kana kutadza kweChibvumirano cheMinsk kupedza hondo yevagari muDonbas.

Zvechokwadi iyi yakanga iri hondo yakafanotaurwa. Makore makumi matatu eyambiro uye kufanotaura akazova akanyanya kururama. Asi vese havana kuteererwa nesangano raiyera budiriro yaro chete maererano nekuwedzera kwayo kusingaperi pachinzvimbo chechengetedzo yayakavimbisa asi yakaramba ichitadza kuunza, zvakanyanya kune avo vakabatwa nechisimba chayo muSerbia, Afghanistan neLibya.

Zvino Russia yakatanga hondo ine hutsinye, isiri pamutemo yakadzura mamirioni evaUkraine vasina mhosva mudzimba dzavo, yakauraya nekukuvadza zviuru zvevanhu uye iri kutora hupenyu hweanopfuura zana masoja eUkraine zuva rega rega. NATO yakatsunga kuramba ichitumira zvombo zvakakura kuti zvikuchidzire hondo, nepo mamirioni kutenderera pasirese achitambura nekudonha kuri kukura kwehupfumi mukukonana.

Hatigone kudzokera kumashure togadzirisa danho rakashata reRussia rekupinda muUkraine kana kukanganisa kweNATO. Asi vatungamiriri vekuMadokero vanogona kuita sarudzo dzakachenjera kuenda kumberi. Izvi zvinofanirwa kusanganisira kuzvipira kubvumidza Ukraine kuti ive isina kwayakarerekera, isiri NATO nyika, chimwe chinhu icho Mutungamiri Zelenskyy pachake akabvumirana nazvo mukutanga kwehondo.

Uye, pachinzvimbo chekushandisa dambudziko iri kuti riwedzere zvakanyanya, NATO inofanirwa kumisa zvese zvitsva kana zvakamirira manyorerwo enhengo kudzamara dambudziko riripo ragadziriswa. Ndizvo zvaizoitwa nesangano redziviriro rechokwadi, mukupesana zvikuru nemaitiro anowanikwa emubatanidzwa wemauto ane hukasha uyu.

Asi isu tichaita kufanotaura kwedu kunoenderana nemaitiro ekare eNATO. Panzvimbo yekudaidzira kubvumirana kumativi ose kuti kupedze kudeuka kweropa, iyi Alliance ine ngozi ichavimbisa kusingaperi kwezvombo zvekubatsira Ukraine "kukunda" hondo isingakundike, uye icharamba ichitsvaga nekutora mukana wese kuti uzvipinze pamutengo. yehupenyu hwevanhu uye kuchengetedzwa kwenyika.

Ipo nyika ichifunga kuti ichaita sei kuti Russia izvidavirire pamusoro pezvinotyisa zvairi kuita muUkraine, nhengo dzeNATO dzinofanira kuita fungidziro yechokwadi. Vanofanira kuziva kuti mhinduro chete yechigarire kune ruvengo rwakagadzirwa nemubatanidzwa uyu wakasarudzika, wekuparadzanisa ndeyekubvisa NATO uye kuitsiva nehurongwa hunosanganisirwa hunopa chengetedzo kunyika dzese dzeEurope nevanhu, pasina kutyisidzira Russia kana kutevedzera United States muupofu. ayo asingagutsikane uye anachronistic, hegemonic vavariro.
