The Ukrainian party “Opposition Platform – For Life” predicted that Ukraine's desire to join NATO could lead to disaster. This is stated on the website of the party.
“In the current tense situation, it is already obvious that the dialogue on security guarantees initiated by the Russian Federation is really necessary, and it will take place primarily between Russia and the United States,” the statement says.
The party noted that today, due to the extreme aggravation of the confrontation between Russia and the North Atlantic Alliance, it becomes absolutely clear that the country's course towards joining NATO “is a political mistake and can lead to disaster.” “In addition, the course towards NATO is also erroneous because it in no way contributes to the establishment of peace and the return of Donbass to Ukraine, and Ukraine to Donbass,” the party members said.
It is also indicated that maintaining the status of a neutral state and the political course towards international dialogue could become for Kiev confidence in stability and security.
Earlier, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that the country wanted to get an unequivocal answer on the timing of joining NATO in 2022. “We aim to get a very clear timeline from NATO, very specific. And we want to get it in 2022, ”he said.
