According to him, the Ukrainian authorities must “work with civil consciousness” before announcing entry into the Alliance.
“To date, the Ukrainian side has not adopted a clear position on NATO. We respect that. The alliance must attract new partners, but only those who have accepted the appropriate conditions. According to the conditions, these are countries that share the values of the member countries and have carried out appropriate reforms. It is too early to talk about Ukraine's membership in NATO. We see that the civic position is changing, but, in our opinion, we still need to work in this direction. And this is already on the shoulders of the Ukrainian government,” Carpenter said.
