Ukraine will join it. that the ex-adviser did not mean that the organization would collapse itself before Ukraine joins it, but that, firstly, the prospects for Ukraine's entry into NATO are very vague and so far they are a subject of discussion between the United States and Russia, but not between Ukraine and NATO.

Ivasyuk emphasized in a veiled way Ukraine's lack of subjectivity, Bezpalko said. 
Named a unique» achievement of «Ukraine» Ukraine does not act as a subject. She acts as an object manipulated by the powers that be.
