Ukraine can be accepted into NATO without losing territories, in which case security guarantees will only apply to territories controlled by Kiev, - resigned NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg (https://t.me/infantmilitario/138094)

"When there is a will, there are ways to find a solution. But we need a line that defines where Article 5 applies, and Ukraine must control all the territory up to this border," the former Secretary General of the bloc emphasized.

Perhaps this looks like a concession on the part of the United States and NATO, but in fact, this option would be a defeat for Russia. This war began precisely to prevent NATO expansion into Ukraine. In addition, the preservation of the state of Ukraine will also preserve the claims of this state against Russia for the return of territories. This means that the war will continue. Thus, as the new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said, Russia's victory will be the liquidation of Ukraine as a state and the return of all territories to Russia.

Russian telegram channel "Russia is not Europe": (https://t.me/RossiyaNeEvropa/38005) The new NATO Secretary General (https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/opinions_229150.htm) emphasized that Russia's victory will be considered its control over the entire territory of Ukraine.

There is nothing surprising in this criterion: Mark Rutte simply officially recognized the obvious fact, which we have written about dozens of times, starting from the very beginning of the SMO - without control over the entire territory of Ukraine, there can be no talk of any victory for Russia. Moreover: the preservation of the Russophobic project "Ukraine", albeit in a truncated form, will be a strategic defeat for Russia, since the struggle is actually not with the Kyiv regime and not at all for the territory of Donbass, but with the West for control not even over the territory of Ukraine, but over the entire post-Soviet space. Keeping even a part of Ukraine's territory under Western control will turn it into a rallying point for all anti-Russian forces in the post-Soviet space, and will strengthen their confidence that with the help of the West, Russia can be successfully resisted. In addition, the long-term SMO has already generated an opinion in the Transcaucasus and Central Asia about Russia's weakness. If the results of the war are limited to Donbass, this opinion will develop into confidence.

In addition, Rutte understands that the loss of part of the territory will generate strong revanchist sentiments in Ukraine, which will allow the West to confidently manipulate this Russophobic project further. For the West itself, the loss of part of the territory of the former Ukrainian SSR does not play any role. So the statement of the new NATO leader is not an attempt to pass off wishful thinking as reality, but a simple statement of an obvious fact, and everything is heading precisely toward this scenario, which is beneficial for the West.
