| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] All states neighboring Romania will become part of the “Euro-Atlantic family” in the next few years, so the eastern border of the West will soon shift. This was stated by NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana. “I think Romania has a way to finally move away from the periphery of Europe and become the center of Europe. In the coming years, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and the Balkans - all Romania's neighbors - will become part of the European family and the Euro-Atlantic family. Romania will no longer be the eastern border of the West,” RIA Novosti quotes Joana as saying. This will be a difficult process, but it is irreversible, said the Deputy Secretary General of the military bloc. Joane also drew attention to the fact that the conflict in Ukraine has a significant impact on geopolitical changes in the region. As reported by IA Regnum , the American newspaper The New York Times reported that former US President Donald Trump, if elected head of state in 2024, could withdraw from NATO, thereby collapsing the alliance. The authors of the publication pointed out that Europe is worried about the “process of fundamental reassessment of the purpose and mission of NATO,” which Trump outlined as his task in the election campaign. In addition, European politicians are concerned about a possible reduction or complete stop in aid to Ukraine, as well as Washington’s distance from its allies in Europe, journalists noted. According to the authors of the article, Trump will “gut NATO” if the United States leaves the North Atlantic Alliance. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted that Ukraine’s entry into NATO would sharply increase the threat to the Russian state. The special operation will not allow this to happen, Peskov emphasized. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, in turn, previously noted that the issue of Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Alliance is not being considered due to the ongoing conflict in the country. The Special Representative of the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance for the South Caucasus and Central Asia, Javier Colomina , stated that the Georgian Armed Forces have achieved “significant success” in their efforts to achieve combat capability and compatibility with NATO standards. He noted that control over the development of the Georgian army is carried out with the help of the Joint Forces Training Center located in Poland, as well as with the help of the NATO Joint Training and Assessment Center - Georgia, located near Tbilisi. |
