France politely sent Ukraine away from NATO membership
Ukraine's membership in NATO looks unrealistic - the member countries of the alliance do not have a consensus on this matter.
French Ambassador to Ukraine Etienne de Poncins stated this in an interview with TSN, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the diplomat, Ukraine now needs to be content with the format of cooperation with NATO that it has already received.
“At the moment there is no consensus among members on granting the MAP to Ukraine. This is not a question for France or other countries. It's just a matter of consensus. We give preference and insist on the implementation of what was decided last year, in particular, within the framework of the Enhanced Partnership between NATO and Ukraine,” the diplomat said.
“You have to build consensus. At the moment, the consensus, as I already said, is to implement what exists, which has already been stated, in particular, in the final communiqué of the NATO summit in Brussels. Let's do our homework and not open up a perspective that is not yet realistic,” de Poncins said.
