“At our Committee on National Security and Defense we were considering a bill on changes to the fundamentals of domestic and foreign policy. The point is that Yanukovych maintained a non-aligned status and hammered a nail into Ukraine’s ability to integrate into Europe or NATO. The National Security Council decided to adopt changes to this law and allow integration into NATO. Yesterday this bill was submitted to committee and failed.
He assumes that Russia is no longer our ally, we are abandoning non-alignment and are talking about joining NATO. And only two out of 14 committee members voted for this yesterday. That is, we are still at war on the internal front,” said the Svoboda member.
