Volker commented on the possibility of Ukraine's accession to NATO even before the end of the war

According to Kurt Volker, NATO should make Putin clear that he cannot keep the Alliance under his control. Most NATO member countries will oppose Ukraine's accession to the Alliance against the background of war with the Russian Federation. At the same time, the military-political unit should start practical steps to accelerate integration. Former US Special Representative in Ukraine Kurt Volker told this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

"I believe that most NATO countries will say that Ukraine cannot be admitted to NATO now because the war is still ongoing. Because it will mean that NATO will also become a war participant," Volker said. He recalled that the Alliance pledged to recognize our country as a member of NATO in 2008, but for 15 years there was no advancement in this matter. "It is necessary to let Putin understand that he cannot keep NATO under control.

NATO has to say," We are beginning to fulfill our obligations, " - said the former US Special Representative in Ukraine. He expressed the opinion that the North Atlantic Alliance could already start performing most of practical measures to help Kiev with future integration. It will help our country immediately become a full member of NATO as soon as it becomes possible. that there is no prospects for the beginning of Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
