“With out NATO, we are going to collapse in some unspecified time in the future within the subsequent 10 years, as a result of our neighbor is brainless and has no borders,” Oleksiy Polonchuk advised German public broadcaster ARD. He’s the director of the “Forpost” basis, which provides the Ukrainian military with automobiles and drones.

If this conflict drags on for an additional 10 or 20 years, in some unspecified time in the future there shall be nobody to combat it, and NATO is the one umbrella that may be stretched over the nation, he believes.
“The entire japanese entrance is on hearth”
Volunteers like Oleksiy Polonchuk play an especially vital position in defending Ukraine from the Russian invasion. They assist the Ukrainian military and with out them it might be tough, mentioned Serhiy Osachuk, an officer of the Ukrainian border troops. To date, Ukraine has concluded 20 bilateral safety agreements with Western international locations, in addition to one with the EU.

Now he hopes for fruitful conferences within the USA. “We’re engaged on the main points of the brand new choices and paperwork that we’ll signal with our companions. There have to be an acceptable answer when it comes to air protection as effectively,” the Ukrainian president mentioned.
Ukrainians hope to have the ability to use Western weapons in opposition to Russia
Regardless of every thing, many Ukrainians hope they are going to be part of NATO even earlier than the top of the conflict, says Kyiv-based army professional Oleksandr Kovalenko. He expects worldwide companions to permit using Western weapons on Russian territory with none restrictions.
