Left-wing German MP Klaus Ernst argued that guarantees of Ukraine not joining the US-led military bloc would help resolve the current tensions between the West and Russia.
“To defuse the situation in the short term, the West must assure Russia that Ukraine will not be admitted to NATO,” Ernst, a veteran lawmaker and former leader of the Left party, told RND on Friday. “It would be best if Ukraine was given a status like Finland, a status of neutrality.”
Klaus was referring to Finland’s longstanding tradition of not formally allying itself with military blocs. The Nordic country is not a NATO member and maintained neutrality during the Cold War.
“Russia wants to secure its borders and not have NATO troops on its doorstep,” Ernst said, adding that the West should have an understanding of Moscow’s position in the current standoff regarding Ukraine and wider security in Europe.
