Ukraine’s Vice PM Klympush-Tsintsadze urges NATO to join negotiations with Hungary

Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze made the relevant statement at the NATO-Ukraine meeting on the assessment of Ukraine’s implementation of the Annual National Programme under the auspices of the NATO-Ukraine Commission for 2018, the Governmental portal reports.

"The Brussels Summit demonstrated that the allies again confirmed their commitment to further development of the special partnership between Ukraine and NATO. The only stumbling block on this path is blocking of the ministerial commission by Hungary. The future of the NATO-Ukraine Commission actually depends on the allies. I urge the Alliance to join actively the negotiations with Hungary to prove the high level of our partnership in practice,” Klympush-Tsintsadze said.

The Vice PM noted that the NATO’s political decisions regarding Ukraine’s membership had been approved at the Bucharest Summit ten years ago, and the practical task for today was to do everything necessary for high-quality preparation for the membership in the Alliance.
