“When we tell everyone that we have rabid support for NATO, they are European people, they immediately start climbing computers, and, they see, 48% of the support,” Klimkin said.

At the same time, he noted that the latest polls in Ukraine show Ukrainian support for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"We look at the latest public opinion poll and see that there are 13% of Putin's fans in the country after seven years of war ... every seventh Ukrainian," Klimkin complained.

In April, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called NATO membership the only way to end the armed conflict in Donbas.

At the same time, according to the Secretary of State at the French Foreign Ministry, Clement Bona, the prospect of Ukraine's joining the EU is not serious.
