Analysts: NATO fueling Russia-Ukraine conflict at U.S.'s behest
03:07

One year on, what's next for the Russia-Ukraine conflict? The enlargement of NATO was one of the key causes of the conflict. Is NATO, a Cold War relic, expanding further? What's the impact of Finland's possible NATO accession? Charly Salonius-Pasternak, lead researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs, tells CGTN host Tian Wei that NATO's role in common defense is limited, and there remains a negotiation between national and collective interests, and it is too early to consider Finland's membership in NATO. Josef Gregory Mahoney, professor of politics and international relations in East China Normal University, said that the U.S. and the enlargement of NATO are driving the escalation of the conflict, and if Finland joins NATO, things will be out of control.
