I say officially because they been there since 2014 but here’s the conditions…
“NATO, against the backdrop of Western concern about the failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front, “in a very confidential form”, “established” two “red lines” for itself, which could be followed by direct intervention of the alliance in the conflict, writes the Italian newspaper Repubblica.
The first "red line," Repubblica argues, "revolves around the possibility of Russian penetration through Kyiv's defense lines" and concerns "direct or indirect third party involvement" in the conflict in Ukraine. The publication writes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces “can no longer fully control” the border, which, according to the newspaper, creates conditions for the Russian Armed Forces to break through into the corridor between Ukraine and Belarus. As the newspaper suggests, “then Minsk will be directly involved in the military dispute,” and “its troops and arsenal will be of decisive importance for Moscow.” “And this circumstance can only intensify (NATO’s) defense in favor of Ukraine,” the article states.
The second “red line,” the newspaper writes, “involves a military provocation against the Baltic countries or Poland or a targeted attack on Moldova.” Repubblica also notes the deep concern of Western authorities about the situation at the front and the “unfavorable conditions” for Kyiv.”
