Nonresident Senior Fellow Paul Heer weighs in on what the Council on Foreign Relations report got right—and what it got wrong.

"Offering Ukraine something other than NATO membership would send a message to Moscow that the US is committed to Ukraine’s security—but only up to a point," Paul Poast argues.

"Putin’s decision to attack has made Ukraine’s membership of NATO inevitable," writes Ivo Daalder.

Ukraine joining NATO will not increase tensions. It will reduce them, argue Ivo Daadler, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, and Stefano Stefanini.

"If I were Vladimir Putin, I would not be happy about what happened in Vilnius this week," Ivo Daalder tells Carl Nasman.

“If ending the war means Ukraine joins NATO, a lot of Russians might feel differently about their commitment to the fight," Elizabeth Shackelford writes.

There's a difference between trying to Ukraine’s territory back militarily and politically, Ivo Daalder tells Dmitry Anopchenko.

President Biden "came into office to revitalize our alliances," says the Council's Ivo Daalder.

For Ukraine, “it was unrealistic, frankly, to think that there would be an invitation," Ivo Daalder tells Amna Nawaz.

“The other outcome of this summit was Turkey's capitulation: allowing Sweden to join NATO,” says Nonresident Senior Fellow Mitchel Wallerstein.
