Vladimir Dobrovolsky. Authorized NATO and Ukraine on the last working day of the week at the meeting at ambassadorial level did not discuss the possible membership of Ukraine in the Alliance, said NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

" It was not discussed at today's meeting, " said Rasmussen, when asked if they had discussed at the meeting of the Commission Ukraine-NATO Council at the level of ambassadors is the question of Ukraine's membership in the Alliance.

Intention to cancel the non-aligned status and re-take the course at NATO said on the last working day of the week the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk. While the NATO documents do not allow the membership of the Commonwealth countries that have territorial discussions, Ukraine claims to the Crimea.

Attitude to the question Of the accession of Ukraine to NATO reflects the contradictions between its Eastern and Western regions: the former tend to Russia and take this opportunity as a threat, and the latter is considered the chance to integrate into the Euro-Atlantic space. The third head of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko (2005-2010) took a course on the country's accession to NATO, but his successor Viktor Yanukovych (2010-2014) has achieved a legislative recognition of the non-aligned status of Ukraine. Currently, the authorities report that the question Of Ukraine's membership in the Alliance is not necessary, as in society, there is no consensus on the matter. The interaction is carried out in the framework of the Commission of the Ukraine - NATO.
