Ukraine's accession to NATO in parts is a completely unworkable construction. This was stated by NSDC Secretary Oleksiy Danilov in an interview with the Voice of America, UNN reports.
Asked to comment on the so-called proposals for Ukraine's accession to NATO in parts, Danilov replied: "We are a single organism. We cannot transfer a part of the body and forget the other part somewhere else. This is a completely unworkable construction. I don't know who has such not quite correct thoughts in their heads. Because it is simply impossible."
He emphasized that the Constitution clearly states that Ukraine is a member of the EU and NATO, and that Ukraine's territorial integrity is recognized by all civilized countries.
"Therefore, it is incorrect to say that one part will go in one direction, while the other part will wait for something," Danilov said.
