Ukraine would be a heavyweight if joining NATO, or the EU, for that matter. Big population. Big size. Both matter especially within powerstructures of the EU. In NATO, it would be the most war-experienced military of all. Even the US military has not seen this ammount of most intense combat.



Some nations will not be happy to have this huge player in the team. It would come at the cvost of their opwn influenc ein the alliance. France. Germany. Italy. Turkey.



And then there is Bulgaria, Hungary.



At the beginning of the war I was against NATO membership. Since yesterday at the latest, I am for it, for various reasons, not all having to do with the Ukraine'S interests directly, but more with Russia, and hesitent actors inside NATO.
