Ukrainian Foreign Minister criticised NATO for "doing very little" for Ukraine in the context of the conflict with Russia.

There's always a question amongst any thought that one can have. Yesterday I heard that the Foreign Minister of Ukraine said that Nato doesn't do anything for them. What is he on about? Does he want the destruction of the organisation too? Well, my mind was posing those questions while I was watching General Petraeus answering why the minister did say such thing. It was an emotional thing; he's been under months of stress and strain with his country being invaded and battered by the Russians. Somehow that felt more an excuus than a reason to me. The reasoning behind the proposal that Ukraine is now much more than Finland before World War Two in that it's defending the West from dictatorship and so on, well, that's painting a pretty picture but it doesn't really pose the tough questions. There's no West if one considers that Turkey is member of Nato, there's no democratic West if one considers the re-election of Orban in Hungary, etc. What there is... hold on to your seats now... is Nato as the organisation that protects its members against any invasion or attack from the outside. Keep that in mind, because there can easily be some scenarios put forward in which Nato won't be able to doing anything at all yet again. Besides war outside its borders, there's civil war inside one of the member states and war between member states themselves that make atleast three possible scenarios. Why attack an organisation like Nato for doing nothing that it can't do anything about in the first place? Either one isn't very fond of its being in existance in the first place, or one doesn't know about its actual functioning. A foreign minister nowaways even on a stressful day should know that Nato can't intervene beyond its own rules. Individual member states were in Afghanistan under the umbrella of their organisation because of an attack on one of its member states. What would be the cause for direct interference into the war in Ukraine? Defending the West isn't what Nato is about, remember? It's about defending the small against the large. Well, that was the original idea behind setting it up. Peace and not war, yes, it's an organisation against war. Even Ukraine needs to accept this. Just listen to the speech that the Belgian foreign minister made before the founding members signed the charter in 1949.
