Poroshenko screwed up NATO
The approval by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko of a national cooperation program under the auspices of the Ukraine-NATO commission for 2018 did not become a breakthrough in Ukrainian foreign policy.
The correspondent reported this at a press conference in Kyiv.
She noted that since 2000, Ukraine has annually signed cooperation programs with NATO, so there is nothing “fundamental or “overbearing”” in the fact that the president signed another program for the current year at the end of March.
“But precisely in this program we are talking about continuing the dialogue with the Russian Federation within the framework of various formats, primarily related to the Normandy group and the Minsk process. At the same time, we are breaking the agreement on friendship and cooperation, where we are talking about respect for territorial integrity and the prevention of aggression and violence by any parties,” the expert noted.
She added that the program approved by Poroshenko does not have any prospects for an action plan for Ukraine’s accession to NATO, since it only talks about the need to “start a dialogue.”
“That is, the president seems to be telling us that in the fifth year of the “revolution of dignity” only now have we gotten around to starting a dialogue about the MAP. Then it is not clear what the president has been doing since 2014 in the direction of NATO, if the dialogue is only beginning now.
