NATO has announced that, in collaboration with the Ukrainian government, had ceased any collaboration with the military action taken place by Russia to annex the region of Crimea, previously Ukrainian territory. With this announcement, the NATO rejects and disapproves the illegal occupation of Russian forces in Crimea. The organization has stated that in order for Russia to be supported again by the NATO it would have to move out its troops of the occupied territory. Unfortunately, there has not been any confirmation from the Russian government to withdraw its troops.
This crisis, stated the organization, is one of the major ideological confrontations since the Cold War. The situation has also intensified with the confirmation from the Russian oil company Gazprom that the prices of gas exports to Ukraine would increase by 40 percent. One proposed measurement that has been analyzed by the media is that the NATO would send more troops into the Ukrainian territory to make a point on Russia. But that might be seen as a provocation to the government of Vladimir Putin which has consistently supported the occupation of Crimea and is known for his harshness in dialogue. However some countries as Poland have stated that they would welcome more presence of NATO forces in its country.
On the other part, the UE would be willing to support with financial aid the Ukrainian territory, expecting no sanctions from Russia to them. This would help Ukraine with its new oil prices. Both the UE and the NATO hopes for the conflict to be over and for stability to come back to the region.
