    “Future” being the key word. All this is telling the Russians is that they have to finish this. Even if they just keep shelling an enemy that’s otherwise given up the conflict must legally continue forever or until Russia’s security is satisfied.

    In my opinion these treaties are little but a way to attempt to delude the Ukrainians into thinking they’ll actually get into NATO and that the west actually cares about them so they continue to throw bodies against the Russians as fodder.

    Anyways this says nothing. Military assistance as deemed proper basically is what it says, it says they get a conference with these nations and the nations may if they deem it appropriate give them military gear, intelligence sharing, slap sanctions on Russia basically everything they’ve been doing so far but again at a future date. It offers no iron-clad commitments that they’ll pour troops into Ukraine. That’s certainly the threat and they -could- end up doing that in future based off this given Ukraine couldn’t win on its own. Then again they could ignore it, send token assistance, or back down and run away.
