Western media have reported that the US plans to announce a long-term mission to support Ukraine and appoint a responsible general. This is a good signal for our country.
This opinion Channel 24 was expressed by military expert, instructor pilot and reserve colonel Roman Svitan. According to him, one could only dream of this .
This is a good “corridor” to the Alliance.
Svitan explained that if the Pentagon introduces a structure for support, control and communication with our Armed Forces, then practically the Ukrainian army becomes a structural unit of the North Atlantic Alliance.
This indicates that the Pentagon , and most NATO countries are preparing to accept Ukraine into the Alliance,” the military expert noted.
Thus, the Pentagon can first transfer the Armed Forces of Ukraine to NATO standards. According to Swithan, this transition is better than through political adoption, and only then bringing to the standards. This is a very good corridor that will quickly lead our country to the Alliance.
After the de-occupation of Ukraine and reaching the borders of 1991, this will allow us to quickly “cover behind the umbrella” of NATO and even stop the war . Russians will not fight NATO,” Svitan said.
