LETTER : Nato ultimatum
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Ms C. J. Hartley
Sir: I suggest that Nato and Central Europe accept Moscow's "tough terms" on one condition - Russia does not become a dictatorship and she does not attempt to restore the Soviet Union or extend the current borders of the Russian Federation by force.
If democracy were to be abolished in Russia and the country were to turn expansionist, then Central Europe should be fully integrated into Nato. If the Russians think they have the right to impose conditions on other sovereign states, then they must also have conditions imposed on them.
This should make it clear to Moscow that Nato poses no threat to a democratic and peace-loving Russia, but that it will be prepared to defend democracies against invasion from any aggressor
Yours sincerely,
