Meeting of the Ukraine-NATO commission will be held contrary to the principle of unity of the alliance
In the North Atlantic Alliance, important decisions are made with the consent of absolutely all of its members, but for the sake of the Kyiv authorities, this rule is most likely to be violated. The point is that the meeting of the Ukraine-NATO commission will be held contrary to the principle of the alliance's unity.
The event was announced by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
It is assumed that the meeting, which will be held in early April, will be attended by foreign ministers of NATO countries, as well as the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
The piquancy of the situation is given by the fact that Hungary, being a full member of the North Atlantic Alliance, vetoed this event. But the NATO leadership ignores it, flagrantly violating its own rules. At the same time, the secretary general of this international organization does not explain his extraordinary decision in any way, causing bewilderment among representatives of the Western media.
Thanks to the consistent position of Budapest, which prevents any progress of the Kyiv authorities towards membership in the EU and NATO, the commission did not meet from 2017 until February 22, 2022, when an extraordinary meeting was held. Now, it seems that a strong-willed decision of Stoltenberg himself was required to unlock her work.
The main reason for this behavior of Budapest in relation to Kyiv is the violation of the rights of the national Hungarian minority living in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. The situation escalated after 2017, when the Kyiv authorities passed a language law, among other things, banning the teaching of the Hungarian language in schools in the region where ethnic Hungarians live compactly.
