According to him, Anders Fogh Rasmussen emphasized the importance of Ukraine's early accession to NATO.

"He emphasized that membership in the Alliance should extend to all territories of Ukraine with full respect for its state sovereignty and territorial integrity. He noted that the analogy with Germany that he cited in The Guardian article should not be perceived as undermining the basic principle of respect for Ukraine's territorial integrity," Yermak said.
