The Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk stated today that Ukraine does not want to remove the goal of NATO membership from its constitution.
He said in an interview with Ukraine Pravda on Monday that the provisions of the constitution related to NATO and the EU represent “Ukraine’s perspective for the future”.
“Constitutional amendments are not an end in themselves and will not become one,” Stefanchuk said.
Preventing Ukraine’s entry into NATO and its neutral status is one of the main declared goals of Russian aggression.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has shown readiness to discuss Ukraine’s neutral status with security guarantees from world powers.
So far, there have been no tangible results in the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
Stefanchuk stressed that Ukraine’s territorial integrity is a “red line”.
Russia also demands that Ukraine renounce the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, and recognize the “self-proclaimed popular republics” of Donetsk and Luhansk.
Now Russian representatives are also claiming all of southern Ukraine, including the port city of Odessa.
