Ukrainian FM criticizes NATO, thanks EU

KYIV. May 26 (Interfax) - Many in NATO have lost all moral and professional grounds to make any comments regarding to Ukraine, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Dmytro Kuleba said.

"All these technical discussions about the standards, the criteria. Once there is a political decision that 'these guys belong to us, we are part of the same', everything else follows. As long as there is no such political decision, you are hearing hundreds of arguments why this is impossible. We understand how this business works, but I believe that many in NATO have lost moral and professional grounds to make any comments with regard to Ukraine," Kuleba said at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday.

NATO, as an institution, is doing literally nothing to support Ukraine, he said.

"My point is very simple. We see allies helping Ukraine out. We see this group of allies, NATO allies, helping us... We saw real faces. What we saw are some revolutionary, ground-breaking decisions taken by the European Union which even they themselves did not expect to make. And we see NATO as an alliance, as an institution, sidelined and doing literally nothing. I'm sorry to say it," Kuleba said.
