The Verkhovna Rada has a bill on the abolition of non-aligned status of Ukraine

121


A few days ago a bill was introduced in the Ukrainian parliament to introduce some changes in the laws of Ukraine, in particular, regarding the country's course in foreign policy (the acquisition of full membership in NATO). The author of the bill was the Opposition MP, a representative of the Batkivshchyna Party, Vyacheslav Kirilenko. Despite the fact that the text of this document is not available on the website of the parliament, the author of the draft itself says in his comments that the main purpose of adopting this bill is to abandon the non-blocking policy of the Ukrainian state in the field of national security, as well as to fix the country's policy at the legislative level for full membership of Ukraine in the North Atlantic Alliance. In particular, Kirilenko says that after Viktor Yanukovych was elected head of state in 2010, the government announced that it intends to change the country's course in implementing foreign policy security, defined in 2003 by the law “On the Fundamentals of Ukraine’s National Security”. The essence of the law was that Ukraine seeks to acquire membership in NATO - the most effective in the world and the only European collective security system that was created within the framework of the alliance.

Kirilenko also noted that the state refused to receive guarantees to ensure territorial integrity, state sovereignty, the inviolability of state borders, choosing instead military neutrality, which is unprofitable in modern conditions from the point of view of politics, economy and state security. He also expressed confidence that Euro-Atlantic integration will help accelerate the process of European integration and bring Ukraine’s entry into the European Union closer.

Earlier, in 2010, the Ukrainian parliament passed a law on the non-aligned status of the state. According to this document, the basic principle of Ukraine’s foreign policy is to observe the non-bloc policy of the state, that is, non-participation in military-political alliances and organizations, participation in the development and improvement of the European collective security system, as well as the development of constructive cooperation with the North Atlantic Alliance and other international organizations and military-political blocs on all issues of interest to both parties.

Due to the inconsistency of the situation, it makes sense to analyze whether Ukraine should join NATO or not. Judging objectively, experts say, the non-aligned status of the Ukrainian state can provide it with much more than a hypothetical membership in the bloc. First of all, it should be noted that non-alignment means that no one in the world regards Ukraine as a source of a real threat. In addition, non-alignment does not contradict the course towards European integration. And in the event that Ukraine becomes a member of the European Union, the EU will be replenished as the seventh non-aligned state after Sweden, Austria, Finland, Malta, Ireland and Cyprus. What is not unimportant is that the non-aligned status will help to remove from the agenda the very problematic issue of Ukraine’s membership in NATO, which causes many problems in building trust relations between Kiev and the key EU states. In the end, the leading heads of state are much more willing to support the entry into the European Union of a peaceful, non-irritating state. In addition, non-alignment contributes to the establishment of a new level of trust between Ukraine and its main partners, creating favorable conditions for the development of trade and economic relations.

In addition, the non-aligned status will not jeopardize Ukraine’s relations with the alliance and will not become an obstacle to the participation of the Ukrainian state in international peacekeeping operations and missions, but with one advantage — the country will decide which missions to participate in, which forces to use and whether to do it at all. Ukraine will still be able to attract NATO experts in the course of military reform.

It is also important that the non-aligned status is one of the few factors that are currently able to somehow unite the eastern and western regions of the country, because this idea is supported by the majority of the Ukrainian population. Out-of-blockingness fully responds to the reluctance of the Ukrainians' unwillingness to take part in foreign armed conflicts.

And yet - even if Ukraine becomes a member of the North Atlantic Alliance, there are no guarantees that, if necessary, in the event of an armed conflict, the members of the bloc will be able and willing to help her.

As for Ukrainian analysts and experts, their opinions as to whether Ukraine should look for ways to join the military-political bloc or maintain its non-aligned status are divided.

Thus, according to Vasily Stoyakin, director of the Center for Political Marketing, after Viktor Yanukovych came to power, little has changed in the matter of relations between Ukraine and NATO. After the adoption of the law on the basics of foreign and domestic security, which presupposes the non-alignment of the state, the legislative acts that provide for the change of the Ukrainian armed forces according to NATO standards have not changed. And this, according to the expert, provides many opportunities for maneuvers of the Ukrainian political elite. Thus, at any time there is a threat that any power, real or future, will be able to note the law on state security without any problems and join NATO.

As political scientist Alexander Paly predicts, a rapprochement of the Ukrainian state with the North Atlantic alliance is quite possible. The fact is that between the two parties there are some common interests, in particular, in the field of security in Europe. Neither side wants war, the emergence of millions of refugees, the redistribution of borders. Therefore, according to the expert, even with the existence of a non-aligned status, the convergence process can be accelerated.

Similar optimism does not share the deputy Anatoly Seminoga. Without abandoning the prospect of Ukraine joining NATO, the politician at the same time says that the internal policy of the state currently does not provide an opportunity to move towards gaining membership in the bloc.

According to the communist Alexander Golub, the entry of Ukraine into the North Atlantic Alliance is inexpedient. The politician is convinced that NATO is just an improvised means of America for carrying out its policy in Europe, which does not provide for the existence of Ukraine as an independent state, and using it as a pawn in political games with Russia. Therefore, until the essence of the block changes, it is unproductive and pointless to consider the question of joining it. According to A.Golub, the majority of the Ukrainian population shares such thoughts. And if the majority of residents opposes membership in NATO, then the acceleration of the process of rapprochement between the parties is not in the public opinion or national interests.

Vasyl Volga is convinced that the North Atlantic Alliance is currently irrelevant for Ukraine, and that there are other, more interesting projects. According to the politician, the alliance has lost its value and can no longer provide the proper level of protection. In addition, Ukraine needs its own efficient modern army, and not the hope that someone will protect it in case of anything.

Thus, it can be concluded that in theory most experts theoretically allow Ukraine to join NATO, but in the distant future. And the situation currently remains unchanged - Ukraine does not cease to cooperate with the military-political bloc, but does not think to enter yet. And how events will develop further - life will show ...

      If Ukraine joins NATO, I suspect Russia's response will be extremely harsh: 100% visa regime (the alliance itself will require this by the way), gas at a sky-high price, and much more can be invented. But at the same time, Russia will most likely have to leave Sevastopol.

          Ukraine has serious pre-default problems. No one is lending (except Gazprom). Own gold and foreign exchange reserves are minuscule. The already meager budget (less than 40 billion E) is trying to fill up with ever-increasing taxes and excise taxes. Because the emergence of customs authorities of the CU has reduced revenues from traditional exports to the CU. The most active and qualified specialists continue to leave Nenko Ukraine in search of a better fate.
          Since the Ukrainian leadership is unable to formulate economic goals and objectives (and only then political ones based on them, "get off the fence") that would lead to real economic growth of Ukraine, as it is in fact, then there is extremist panic and hysteria. In such conditions, only the lazy will not try to rock the boat.

              So that the question does not hang in the air ... Gazprom does not give money on credit <just like that> >>

              Ukraine will pump gas into underground storage facilities for the heating season on credit. This year, Gazprom decided to allocate a billion dollars to Naftogaz as an advance for transit. Representatives of the Ukrainian authorities call this a necessity. Experts say that Naftogaz continues to get stuck in debt, and these advance payments may force Ukrtransgaz to seek funds to ensure the reliability of transit.
              Gazprom decided to provide Naftogaz with an advance for fuel transit one and a half years in advance. It's about a billion dollars. The advance payment is intended for the purchase by the Ukrainian company of gas for filling underground storage facilities. This is necessary so that Naftogaz can fulfill its obligations for the continuous supply of Russian gas to Europe in the winter, Gazprom said.

                It seems that, literally yesterday evening, Gazprom refused to pump gas into Ukrainian storage facilities ... with the wording "we are not discussing this issue for good! Because the Ukrainian leadership is constantly changing agreements." In general, how much gas was bought, and received so much ..

        The top thinks not about Ukraine, they care about fecal matter. The top thinks who is more profitable to sell in purely personal interests. Opposition, coalition, Brownian movement of cockroaches of politicians in the bank of the Rada. We are ready for anything, for any "sacrifice", for the sake of a loved one, especially where it would be more comfortable to attach your ass. Do not confuse their god ... with politics. These are two big differences. Not only do they not intersect, but they are not observed in parallel. Who disagrees, prove otherwise. So far, not a single politician is visible on the foreseeable horizon. Solid bandits from that waste heap are squabbling with colleagues from the Carpathian caches.

            Recent statements by the Turks sounded something like this, if Merkel wants to stay in his post, then the Turks need to listen a little.

            Sooner or later, the EU will end as a unification because too many grievances and contradictions that are not so easy to overcome. In this particular case, waving in the face of the Turks a membership in NATO and the EU means subordinating them to their will since they are ready for this much. The ticket to the pool is like a slippery fish in the hands of the Turkish government.

            A similar situation is likely to be with Ukraine, too, until the Ukrainian government is put in its place. Mythical, so close, but absolutely inaccessible, membership in the EU and NATO will be waved in front of Yanukovych and the whole company, but only so that they sabotaged the attempts of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus to return Ukraine to a common orbit. The campaign is also pumped out manpower with resources, but in the geopolitical game this is rather secondary. The main thing is to prevent the formation of a potential adversary who will be able to turn around the situation not in favor of the West.

    It is impossible to say that Ukraine will not join NATO, such an option is not ruled out, but what will be the answer in this case from Russia? We will lose Sevastopol - for sure, and the unrest of the Ukrainians, if any, will be suppressed together with the same NATO members.

The whole world, from pole to pole, makes fun of Ukraine, but they don't notice it, they run after a phantom called the European Union.

    Russia can expel and ban for three years the entry into its territory of 700 thousand Ukrainian citizens.
    this was stated by the head of the Federal Migration Service Konstantin Romodanovsky during the international conference “Russian-Ukrainian Relations: Realities and Prospects” held in Moscow.
    Romodanovsky said where the impressive number of Ukrainian candidates for deportation came from: “Today, there are about one and a half million Ukrainian citizens on Russian territory. Of these, 111 thousand legally work, 350 thousand came to relatives, to study, to be treated. It turns out that more than a million citizens of Ukraine work without proper paperwork. ”

I do not think that standing in this queue at Ukraine will move forward, which could lift its economy from its knees, the EU does not need it in principle, it is enough to maintain "life in the body" so that it does not die and use it for its own purposes.

        walking on Ukrainian political sites is not respecting yourself. If only because the self-speaking local patriots have the same attitude to Ukraine as Napoleon Bonaparte to the October Revolution. Faith - Catholic (instead of Orthodox), customs and traditions - a mixture of Ukrainian, Polish, Hungarian, Romanian and others, the language too - not every xoxol understands without half a liter. In general, as for me, they were too influenced by the neighborhood with the Poles - just as the clandestine people like to blame all their neighbors for all their sins, they also shout about the exceptional importance of their homeland ... , (and this is not only so now, back in the days of the USSR "zapadenskie" shabashniks, or as they were also called "vuiks", traveled all over the Ukrainian SSR and not only). All the enterprises inherited from the Union have successfully pumped through, but, as always, they have lost their guilt. Etc. etc.
        Gee =) I remember going to Lvov and Frankivsk in 89 or 90, in the midst of "Svidomo". It was fun to watch: young people in then super-fashionable boiled jeans, but under the jeans - vyshyvanka. Patriots, blasphemy. And we are the same youth, in the same dumplings, but without embroideries. For which they almost got shocked in the face like the Moscow zaprodans - fortunately, they talked in widespread Ukrainian, they managed to disperse in peace =) By the mid-90s everything was settled, again it was possible to come to the same Lviv and calmly communicate in Russian, passers-by did not look back and they didn't spit in the back.
        Nevertheless - some of these "boiled-embroidered" patriots have not gone anywhere, they have grown up, got into politics, where they are engaged in the same garbage as in their youth. And what else can they do? In Poland, perhaps or in the suburbs of plasterers, it’s not a fact that they will take it, they managed to make a “reputation” for themselves. Yes, and it is necessary to work there, but laziness. It is much easier to shout about your exclusivity and about who owes what and how much.

And he came to the conclusion that he had already written. No need for any preferences, benefits, benefits, money! All this is useless! This is another Ukraine! and it is very different from the one we are inventing for ourselves!

    The article is just another reason to talk about the long-suffering "Russian-Ukrainian" topic (What the hell is NATO? Yushchenko, the abstained chairman (who joined after the dismal fail of his Pomeranchev party to SEE) of the faction "Our Ukraine - People’s Self-Defense"! And what did you expect from this orange little deer? What will he offer to join the vehicle? (It would be a number)) Or similar garbage, which the Pomeranchevs had not tried to cram for a year already? Like the first time?
    P.S. I, on this site, (Russian, as some forum users like to remind) see fewer Russian bills than Ukrainian ones. Especially, they like to publish such zilch here, and then, apparently, enjoy srach between Ukrainians and Russians ...

    Democracy in Ukrainian ... everything is normal. But only if our Ukrainian brothers do not stop, I think that Russia should use military force, .. in the full sense and with the aggressive interaction with Belarus, send troops, take Crimea, and all of Eastern Ukraine along the Dnieper is at least. And it would be better for the Whole ... This will be the most correct decision and the entire Western Shavkin yard to make sure that Russia must be reckoned with. It’s time to end the conversation, the Western pack has understood everything for a long time and is not going to listen to the opinion of Russia. Ukrainians will live even better than this, and then put the Lviv region on self-sufficiency.

      And the "crap" who will creep up to defend the AUG with the most "crap" peacekeepers on board under a "mattress pad" on a gaff.
      You do not really rattle your arms. Get ready for a democratic greeting from Iran, China and the DPRK. For you, three missiles that fell on your never-seen-bombing overseas island territory are enough for you and ... the first will cause shock, the second panic, the third white flag over the White House.

    But what difference does Ukraine have for Russia in NATO or not, it is not up to you to decide for us, we are not your province.

    There is already an illustrative example in history of how the West defended us: they were the first to come to plunder Constantinople ... See the film "Death of the Empire. Byzantine Lesson". There are many historical parallels.
    And regarding "Non-alignedness fully corresponds to the unwillingness to take part in foreign armed conflicts, rooted in the consciousness of Ukrainians," I would add the word "western" to the word "alien". I would not speak for all Little Russians, as the author of the article did, but the conflicts in which Russia participates have never been strangers to me.

    Ukraine will not join any NATO - this is just another informational stuffing. This is impossible, if only because Black Sea Fleet of Russia is based in Sevastopol.
    Those who consider it necessary to break Little Russia into two are completely wrong: to reunite the eastern part with Great Russia, and give the western part to the Poles. It was not for this that we poured blood in the desire to unite the Russian world in order to give part of ourselves to our original enemies. We ourselves must heal the wounds of the Russian world.

    If tomorrow is a war, on whose side will Ukraine
    1. From the point of view of international law, a country that will conduct military operations against Russia will consider Ukraine at war on the side of Russia, since a military base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet is located on its territory.
    Simply put, if (for example) Turkey decides to strike at the Russian Black Sea Fleet, then it will not worry that it is located on Ukrainian territory. Blows will be made on Sevastopol.
    2. The Ukrainian legislation (Constitution) stipulates that the state should be neutral. Neutrality is a special status that can be obtained by fulfilling a number of formal and informal conditions. Obligations of a neutral country:
    Do not help any fighting side with your armed forces;
    Do not give your territory to warring parties. Do not trade military goods with a single party to the conflict. (Trading can only be conducted with all parties);
    be able to protect their neutral status by military means (neutral Switzerland spends 5% of GDP on defense. According to the Law on Defense of Ukraine, it should spend no less than 3%).
    In the same time:
    Under President Yanukovych, the country is moving towards the North Atlantic Alliance much more rapidly than during the time of Yushchenko
    The participation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in joint activities with NATO;
    NATO provides grants to research institutions of Ukraine for the implementation of strategic projects;
    constructive partnership of Ukraine in the "smart defense" ("smartdefense"), adopted at the Chicago NATO summit on May 21, 2012. This is evidenced by the presence of the Ukrainian delegation at the summit;
    NATO expands its participation in the development of information and cybersecurity of Ukraine
    3. In Ukraine, they poorly understand what the CSTO is and what it does, but this requires information. Ukraine has more information about NATO than about some other structures.
    Why CSTO is better than NATO:
    CSTO created the CIS countries in order to jointly ensure security;
    CSTO members - neighboring states located in the same economic and international space;
    unified school of personnel training, unified arms system;
    close mentality and a single language of interstate communication;
    single story.
    So, with whom is UKRAINE !?
