“One person cannot influence the decision on who will be in the Alliance.” Ilkov on whether Trump's election will push Ukraine away from NATO
Kyiv • UNN
Mr. Ilkov said that no one person can single-handedly influence the decision on NATO membership. He emphasized that the Alliance is a community of many European states.
Even the most influential person in the world cannot decide who will be NATO, because it is a community of many European countries. This was stated by Oleksandr Ilkov, Director General of the Government Office for Coordination of European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, in a commentary to a journalist of UNN .
Donald Trump has not yet taken office, so it is too early to talk about this. Yes, the United States plays a big role in the world, but the Euro-Atlantic Union is an independent unit, a community of many European countries. Therefore, I think that the position of one person, even if he is one of the most influential in the world, cannot influence security decisions in Europe and decide who will be in NATO
Recall
Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump may offer Ukraine to abandon NATO for 20 years to freeze the war The plan envisages that after the cessation of hostilities, a demilitarized zone will be created along the entire front line. However, it is not yet known who will be responsible for its security.
Also, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on Donald Trump's plan to end the war, noting that a quick end to the war means losses for Ukraine.
