  • Stop the War ... recognises the right of the Ukrainian people to self-determination

    But not including the democratically elected Ukrainian governments desire to join NATO?

  • But not including the democratically elected Ukrainian governments desire to join NATO?

    Nato (i.e., the existing members of Nato) decides who joins Nato, not potential members. It's not hugely dissimilar from joining the EU.

  • I get that, but they can't compel a country to join. I think Stop the War are ignoring the recorded desire of the Ukrainian government to join NATO (and indeed the EU). If Ukrainians stopped electing governments that seek this goal, Russia wouldn't be threatening to invade. Isn't the Stop the War position effectively ignore the democratic will of the Ukrainian people?
