Poland’s defence ministry has announced it will re-launch plans to establish a joint Polish, Ukrainian and Lithuanian military brigade.
The ministry said defence ministers will meet this week to discuss the formation of the brigade that would straddle Nato’s eastern border and bring Ukraine’s armed forces closer to the Western fold.
This has major implications in relation to possible NATO involvement in Ukraine, whilst Britain has just announced it is to suspend military cooperation with Russia.
Poland, Ukraine and the Baltic states ought to have a regional pact, that is a totally fine idea. As long as Poland and the Baltic states leave NATO first.
In fact, I think all the former Warsaw Pact states and successor states that are now in NATO ought to split off and form their own security arrangement.

However, any action they take, and consequences of, will not have the support of NATO.
NATO is a defensive alliance, members do not get NATO support for offensive and/or antagonism actions they take. Merely including a non-NATO member in this brigade undermines any support they will have from NATO.
SO in this instance, if this brigade decides to make a military move on Crimea, then Russia will be free to respond to the countries in the brigade, and NATO is under no obligation to support.
