Ukraine : NATO in the Constitution
by Manlio Dinucci
The day after the signature of NATO's membership protocol with North
Macedonia as its 30th member, Ukraine did something without precedent : it
included in its Constitution the engagement to enter officially into NATO and
the European Union at the same time.
On 7 February, on a proposition by President Petro
Poroshenko – the oligarch who made himself rich by plundering public
properties, and who is once again a candidate for the presidency – the Kiev
parliament, by 334 votes to 35 with 16 abstentions, approved these amendments
to the Constitution.
The Introduction pronounces « the irreversible movement of Ukraine
towards Euro-Atlantic integration » ; articles 85 and 116 state that it is
a fundamental duty of the parliament and the government to « obtain
Ukraine's full membership of NATO and the EU » ; article 102 stipulates
that « the President of Ukraine is the guarantor of the strategic
decisions of the State aimed at obtaining full membership of NATO and the
EU ».
The inclusion in the Ukrainian Constitution of the engagement to enter
officially into NATO bears with it some very serious consequences.
On the interior, it alienates the future of Ukraine from this choice, by
excluding any alternative, and outlaws de
facto any party or person who might oppose the « strategic decisions
of the state ». Already, the Central Electoral Commission has forbidden
Petro Simonenko, director of the Ukrainian Communist Party, to participate in
the Presidential elections to be held in March.
The merit for having introduced into the Ukrainian Constitution the
engagement to enter officially into NATO goes in particular to Parliamentary
President Andriy Parubiy [1]. Co-founder
in 1991 of the Ukrainian National-Socialist Party, on the model of Adolf
Hitler's National-Socialist Party ; head of the neo-Nazi paramilitary
formations which were used in 2014 during the putsch of Place Maïdan under
US/NATO command, and in the massacre of Odessa [2] ; head of the Ukraine National Security and Defense
Council, which, with the Azov Battalion [3] and other neo-Nazi units, attacked Ukrainian civilians of Russian
nationality in the Eastern part of the country and used his squadrons for acts
of ferocious abuse, the plunder of political headquarters and other auto-da-fés
in a truly Nazi style.
On the international level, we should keep in mind that Ukraine is
already linked to NATO, of which it is a partner : for example, the Azov
Battalion, whose Nazi character is represented by the emblem copied from that
of the SS unit Das Reich, has been transformed into a special operations
regiment, equipped with armoured vehicles and trained by US instructors from
the 173rd Airborne Division, transferred to Ukraine from Vicence, and seconded
by other NATO members.
Since Russia has been accused by NATO of having illegally annexed
Crimea, and of launching military operations against Kiev, should Ukraine
officially join NATO, the 30 other members of the Alliance, on the basis of
article 5, would be obliged to
« assist the party or parties under attack by adopting immediately,
individually and in agreement with the other parties, any action that it should
deem necessary, including the use of armed force ».
In other words, they would have to go to war with Russia.
These dangerous implications of the modification of the Ukrainian
Constitution – behind which are most certainly strategies by the USA and NATO –
have been met with political and media silence. Including that of the Italian
parliament, which, in 2017 established an agreement with the Ukrainian
parliament, supported by Laura Boldrini and Andriy Parubiy. Thus cooperation
has been reinforced between the Italian Republic, born of resistance against
fascism and Nazism, and a régime which has created in Ukraine a situation
similar to that which brought about the arrival of fascism in the 1920's and
Nazism in the 1930's.
