Grushko emphasized that NATO in the last few years tried to revise the format of its activities, in discussing this question at different summits, but political decisions was not enough." for this reason, NATO used the crisis in Ukraine as a lever with which it was possible to put pressure on the allies to carry out this geopolitical turn, " said Grushko.

Then the Ukrainian government approved a draft law on the abolition of non-aligned status of the country and the capture rate for membership in NATO.
