France Comments On Ukraine’s NATO Prospects
Ukraine’s accession to NATO is not being discussed right now, given the ongoing hostilities between Moscow and Kiev, the French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Saturday.
Speaking to the Russian RTVI Channel, Anne-Claire Legendre was asked about Ukraine’s bids to join the European Union and the US-led military alliance. She described the EU’s decision to grant Ukraine candidate status in June 2022 as “very important,” sending a signal of “serious political support” for Kiev’s course and reflecting Ukrainians’ desire to embrace European values.
However, she refrained from naming exact dates for Kiev to become part of the EU, saying Brussels is formulating a roadmap that could take “more or less time.” The spokeswoman noted that EU members seek to “move towards a concrete cooperation with our Ukrainian friends.”
