Deputy Head of the Security Council of Russia Medvedev: Georgia and Ukraine "will not see" membership in the EU and NATO

“I think that Ukraine and Georgia will not see membership either in NATO or in the European Union, which can only be reached through the narrow opening of the North Atlantic Alliance,” Medvedev said.

He noted that if a decision is made on the entry of Kyiv and Tbilisi into the EU and NATO, the unification will face enormous costs.

The summit of EU leaders on June 23 agreed on the status of candidates for EU membership for Ukraine and Moldova.

The European Union is also ready to grant Georgia the status of a candidate for joining the bloc, but for this a number of conditions must be met.

The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said earlier that the authorities of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia will have to do "homework" before moving on to a new stage of accession to the European Union.
