This opinion was expressed by the President of the Czech Republic Petr Pavel in an interview with the Polish Rzeczpospolita.

"Honestly, I think it's going to be difficult. NATO is 30 countries... In such a group, it is difficult to make a common decision, "he answered the corresponding question.

Pavlo expressed hope for progress in this direction "after some time, thanks to the common efforts and some countries acting as lawyers of Ukraine."

Earlier, German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbok said that the issue of Ukraine's accession to the EU or Kiev's receipt of security guarantees from NATO is not on the agenda now.

On February 28, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for the start of negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU this year.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, announced the infinitely distant prospects for Ukraine's membership in the EU.
