“The decision (on the possible entry of Ukraine into NATO. - RT ) should be made by Ukraine and 29 existing members of the alliance. No one else has the right to interfere in such a decision. Because sometimes it seems that Russia will decide on Ukraine’s accession to NATO. Russia does not have the right to vote, ”the Secretary General’s speech published on the alliance’s website says.
October 25, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Andrii Zagorodnyuk announced the country's agreements with NATO to create a new format of cooperation. According to him, the relevant documents should be signed in 2019.
In August, US Chargé d'Affaires to Ukraine William Taylor said that Ukraine could qualify for NATO membership.
