France considers Ukraine a problem for NATO

Self-alignment of both external and internal policy of Ukraine creates the Western States alone difficulties. This time the concern of European politicians called Ukraine's aspirations to join NATO.

Ukraine desperately tearing all the old diplomatic relations and actively look to the West, because the plans that political structures of Europe and the United States, its membership will take with delight. Practice, however, demonstrates that the European powers are not delighted with Ukraine's desire to stand with them in 1 row.

"Ukraine's new government says about its own goal to join NATO. And it creates, obviously, a big problem" - quoted by Russia Today, the French foreign Minister Laurent Fabius. Also, a large number of concerns cause and the steps of the Ukrainian authorities on the domestic political arena. For example, the discrepancy becomes reluctance Kiev authorities to pay pensions and benefits public Donbass.

Periodically European political and public figures oppose the entry of Ukraine into the Alliance, knowing what difficulties will bring the state together with you. So, long before their own French colleague, the Minister for foreign Affairs of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier spoke against the entry of Ukraine in the military unit.

Foreign office of Germany has expressed the position that full membership of Ukraine in the Alliance would be pointless, you can talk about the prospect of limited partnership, as previously announced Days.Ru. "I find possible partnership relations between Ukraine and NATO, but not the membership," he said Steinmeier in an interview with Spiegel.

Taking into account the opinion of a diplomat, financial and political modernization of Ukraine is considered a "project of several generations". "In consequence of this there is no sense to make a statement about Ukraine's membership in the EU in the distant future," added Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Politicians, by the way, support and common people in France and Germany. So, done in France, England and Germany, the survey showed that the inhabitants of these States in General have a negative attitude to the EU accession of new members, specifically Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. Europeans doubt the need for such a step more other did not see it confused the Germans: 71% of the respondents belong to the initiative of the sharply negative, with only 21% concluded that "supposedly support", and only 1% supported the idea.
