The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine will submit to Parliament a draft law on the abolition of non-aligned status of Ukraine and the renewal rate for membership in NATO. This message was made by Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. 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. Leader Viktor Yushchenko (2005 - 2010) took a course on the country's accession to NATO. His successor Viktor Yanukovych (2010 - 2014) has achieved a legislative recognition of the non-aligned status of Ukraine. Ukrainian opposition. PHOTO, VIDEO, stories of witnesses
