NATO accession would not be a way for the West to help Ukraine

Jakub Wisniewski, New Europe (Belgium)
Ukrainian politicians have also started the discussion about joining NATO. Is there a chance for Ukraine to become a regular member of the Alliance? Never say “never”. ... To exclude this possibility (for example in the name of placating Russia) would mean that we as the West acknowledge Russia’s claim of supremacy in the “Russky Mir” (the Russian World). It would mean our agreement to the Cold War-style division of the world into spheres of influence for world powers.
