Should Ukraine be part of NATO? Weapons that NATO had previously balked at providing Ukraine, for fear of “provoking” Russia, are now being supplied in abundance, if not in haste. The latest Ukrainian request to give NATO pause is for F-16 fighter jets, though France and Italy are already talking of going ahead with these. This makes the issue more urgent: Ukraine must be supplied with the weaponry it needs as quickly as possible. The reasons Ukraine must be defended – why it must not be defeated – have not changed.
