Former PM who came to power after the anti-Moscow Orange Revolution fears her country is turning into a ‘disenfranchised colony’ that is losing its sovereignty
This is just cope. NATO membership wouldn’t make a difference since even though Ukraine was not a de jure member, it received arms, ammunition, training, intelligence support, supplies and even soldiers from NATO countries. Ukraine is a de facto NATO member. NATO didn’t commit fully to Ukraine because the West views the country as a puppet, not as a strategic member.
People sometimes are so invested in liberal ideology, that they think laws give some kind of magical protection to them. But laws and agreements are broken all the time. A country under NATO could be invaded by Russia or any other power and I wouldn’t be surprised if the alliance failed to come to this country’s aid.
NATO exists to serve primarily US interests and after that, the most powerful members of Western Europe which possess nuclear weapons. All the rest are just cannon fodder, or as financiers of US military industrial complex.

A lot of people in Poland is convinced it will happen in case of war (and it wouldn’t be even first time). That’s why our warmongering propaganda is like the two faced mask, one face tells the people that Russia will invade us as soon as it end with Ukraine and the second face tells us we are perfectly safe because we are member of NATO but we need to be perfect slaves of NATO and Ukraine in order to be safe. Both faces call for money for weapons though.

I think it’s the shift in the narrative that’s of note. It looks like western betrayal narrative is starting to take hold.
