“NATO decided at the Bucharest Summit that Ukraine and Georgia will become members of the alliance. This decision remains. At the same time, we are not setting an exact time frame. Now we are focusing on how we can help these countries move towards Euro-Atlantic integration, ”RIA Novosti quoted Stoltenberg as saying.
Earlier, former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko said that Europe would not feel safe until Ukraine joined NATO.
In October, NATO noted progress in the reforms undertaken by Georgia in preparing for possible membership in the alliance and emphasized the need for their continuation.
On November 24, US Presidential Adviser on National Security Robert O'Brien said the West did not think it would be interesting for NATO to include Ukraine in the alliance in the context of its “conflict with Russia”.
Political analyst Ivan Mezuho, commenting on this statement, noted that Ukraine should ask how appropriate it is in this context to join the North Atlantic Alliance.
