Zakharova: Ukraine was not invited to NATO because of interest in its western territories

Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that Ukraine was not invited to NATO because of the need to recognize the existing Ukrainian borders. According to her, this seems inconvenient for the alliance, especially given Poland’s interest in the western territories of Ukraine.

Zakharova noted on the air of the “Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” program that this aspect should be considered from the point of view of the distribution of interests of Western countries, which, in her opinion, are “sharing their next victim.”
