All thoughts of taking Ukraine into NATO should be postponed for a long period of time, otherwise the relations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, as Well as Russia and the West deteriorate further, according to the Creator of the article in the journal of The American Conservative.

The preservation of the neutral status of Ukraine and its non-aligned position would be the best option for the country and for development of Russian-Ukrainian and Russian-Western relations.

the Creator of the article Daniel Larison agrees with the opinion given in the material, about the fact that Ukraine's accession to NATO in the near future is impossible, since the country is split, its economy in practice destroyed, and the majority of residents oppose Ukraine's membership in NATO. Also Larison suggests that the entry of Ukraine into the Alliance could cause extremely negative reaction of Russia, with unpredictable consequences.

in addition, most countries-NATO members now do not want to see Ukraine from the block, and in the case of its membership in the Alliance will be extremely reluctant to take responsibility for the fulfillment of its obligations to Ukraine in the case, if necessary in the future, noted in the publication.
