Ukraine hopes that its applications for NATO membership will be considered soon
Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishina expressed hope that Ukraine’s application for NATO membership would be considered as quickly as Sweden’s and Finland’s applications.
As Ukrinform reports, it reports CNN.
“We see that Sweden’s position will continue, when there is also Finland, on their intention to join the Alliance, and the Alliance will make and make decisions as soon as possible. This is an argument in favor of the simple fact that NATO made mistakes with its political mistakes, which were made in 2008, when there were expectations of membership and further cooperation, but without any practical solutions in this direction. In the end, this led to three wars, two of which are currently ongoing in Ukraine, “she said.
Stefanishina expressed hope that “when it comes to considering the Ukrainian application, decisions will be made even faster.”
As Ukrinform reported, earlier on Sunday, Finnish President Sauli Niinstvo announced that his country is official information about NATO membership.
After that, the leader of the Social Democratic Party of Sweden said that the country is working on applying for NATO membership.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that “NATO’s doors are open” for Sweden and Finland.
