The Ukrainian head Petro Poroshenko is ready to do everything for Ukraine to join NATO, but the chances of that are almost none, said head of the state Duma on international Affairs Alexei Pushkov.

"Today, Even in comparison with 2008, when (former head of Ukraine Viktor) Yushchenko with the assistance of the Bush administration has taken the 1st attempt of joining NATO, Ukraine not only looks unconvincing in the form of a potential candidate - she looks horrible. Everyone in the Alliance is clear that Ukraine is nothing to give him incapable, in Addition to new questions. Kiev will only require and ask, " said Pushkov in interview to the newspaper.

review the MP, Kyiv will insist that the Alliance has spent huge money on military bases in Ukraine that most of Europe is absolutely not necessary.

"in the European Union do not wish to have in the Alliance state that declares itself at war with Russia. In Paris, Berlin and other European capitals assured me that neither membership in NATO nor in the EU Ukraine is not threatened in the foreseeable future. Even Poland does not consider such membership is not possible", he said.

Pushkov noticed that Even the U.S. does not officially support the entry of Ukraine into NATO.

"It then increases the Danger of direct military-political confrontation with Russia. In addition, the U.S. fears of a sharp split in the Western Alliance on the issue. After all the split leads to a reduction of US influence in NATO, " Pushkov.
