NATO: Peskov's statements about Ukraine are cut off from reality
Earlier, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov complained that Russia has no guarantee that Ukraine will not join NATO. At the same time, he accused the Western countries in an attempt to "upset the balance of forces."
According to Oana Lungesku, Peskov’s statement is divorced from reality.
In turn, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that Ukraine is a sovereign state that will decide on joining NATO on its own.
“I think it is necessary to remind our Russian colleagues that Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state. Only the Ukrainians themselves can decide which way their country will go, and which organizations it will join. We do not need someone's prompting from outside, and also we will not tolerate any pressure on these issues, ”Yevhen Perebiynis, press secretary of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, quotes. "Russian Air Service".
Perebiynis also said that Ukraine would like Russia to give guarantees that it would stop interfering in the internal affairs of the country, sending its army there and continuing to annex Ukrainian lands.
"Until now, Russia has not been able to provide such guarantees, and, although Moscow does not notice, this causes outrage throughout the world," he noted.
