Ukraine does not give up its plan to join NATO, according to one of the members of the presidential administration in Kiev, even if this desire was one of the reasons that Russia put in front of the whole world when it motivated the decision to invade country on February 24.
Ihor Zhovkva is one of the deputies of the presidential chancellery in Kiev, he is the man who reported to the Ukrainian press that Ukraine's plans to join NATO do not change because there is no stronger guarantee for the country's security than entering the alliance that guards The European Union, and not only.
Russia demanded that Ukraine give up its desire to join NATO as a condition for ending the war, so the statement coming from Kiev will certainly not be well received in Moscow, but in the end there are no other better solutions for the Ukrainians in in the face of the merciless attacks launched by the Russian army.
Of course, a possible accession of Ukraine to NATO would be possible only after the end of the war, and only if giving up this plan will not be a condition for the cessation of the war, but even so, it could take years for the process of accession can be completed by the country.
He added that NATO membership remains the best security guarantee for Ukraine. Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has demanded that Ukraine drop plans to join NATO as a requirement for a peace deal.
