MOSCOW, Dec 3: Full membership of Ukraine in NATO would be unacceptable for Russia, it is a threatening event, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, the European Pravda news portal, citing a document, reported that on the day of the start of the NATO ministerial meeting, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry made public its official position regarding possible security guarantees, which stated that full membership of Ukraine in NATO is the only real guarantee of security for Kiev, as well as a deterrent to “further Russian aggression” against Ukraine and other states.
“This is in absolute contrast to our thesis on the indivisibility of security, and the security of one country cannot be ensured at the expense of the security of another country. This is an immutable rule of international relations, which we are guided by. Therefore, potentially such a decision is simply unacceptable for us, because it is an event that threatens us. This does not eliminate the root causes of what is happening now,” Peskov told reporters.
