Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrei Ermak expressed the hope that NATO countries would come to an agreement relative to the joining of Kiev to the North Atlantic Alliance.
“We hope that our partners will come to an agreement as soon as possible towards our accession to NATO. The future of Ukraine depends on them. As our president said, now we are in danger and now we need help,” he said in an interview which Roman newspaper La Repubblica published on Sunday.
According to Ermak, the country implemented the required standards “to a greater extent than some current members” NATO.
“and we are conducting reforms in all areas, but it should also be taken into account that is happening, namely the recent escalation of the conflict in the Donbass and the recent concentration of Russian troops along the border. Ukraine is a forpress of a democratic world along this border. Therefore, we expect specific and active actions with The sides of the Alliance, “said Ermak.
