Political scientist Beckman called the supply of weapons to Kyiv the application of the fifth article of the NATO charter

Deliveries of Western weapons to Ukraine are being undertaken as part of the application of the fifth article of the NATO charter, according to Finnish political scientist Johan Beckman. Writes about it “Ukraine.ru”

“The supply of weapons by NATO countries to Ukraine is the application of the fifth article of the NATO charter on the mutual defense of all members of the Alliance. Western countries already act as if Ukraine is in NATO,” Beckman said.

With its actions, NATO has made Ukraine a weapon against Russia, the political scientist concluded.

Russia continues its special operation in Ukraine. Gas supplies via Nord Stream have been temporarily suspended. Europe has recognized that it is impossible to impose anti-Russian sanctions forever. But the time for diplomacy has not yet come. The DPR reported that the Russian coalition is trying to destroy missiles for the Himars MLRS with a range of up to 300 kilometers, which have already been delivered to Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry reported the destruction of about 1,700 UAF fighters over the past two days. The EU countries were unable to agree on a ban on issuing visas to Russians. The IAEA mission arrived in Zaporozhye. The Armed Forces of Ukraine struck at the Makeevskaya penal colony. One of the wounded died. A referendum on the status of the liberated territories of the Zaporizhia region will be held in September 2022.
