“Ukraine will not join NATO, at least in the near future. The country needs to build a strong army that is ready to fight on its own,” Mr. Smeshko said.
Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg updated Ukraine's developments at the NATO-Ukraine Commission meeting in Warsaw.
Mr. Stoltenberg said NATO reaffirmed its political support for Ukraine and pledged to provide strong support for the full compliance with the Minsk agreements.
