German Ambassador to Ukraine Anka Feldhusen, commenting on the prospect of Ukraine’s membership in NATO, noted that one of the advantages of the Alliance is Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, and everyone is afraid to be in a direct war with Russia.
“30 countries are cooperating in NATO, and this is a consensus organization. This consensus needs to be found. I think that Ukraine has very influential partners who support Ukraine’s ambitions to become a NATO member. But this will not happen tomorrow because, as I said, it will be a political decision. NATO has always had problems with countries at war. Of course. Because one of the advantages of NATO is the fifth article of the Washington Treaty – everyone is afraid to be in a direct war with Russia,” the ambassador said in an interview with ZN.UA, published on June 26 morning.
At the same time, she said that NATO cooperates with Ukraine daily and closely monitors what is happening in Ukraine.
