Nine years of the Ukraine▓s cooperation with NATO

[inch]

Nine years of the Ukraine▓s cooperation with NATO within the framework of the Partnership for Peace Program (1994), eight years of its participation in the Planning and Review Process (PARP, 1995), six years of work on the basis of the Charter on special partnership (1997), as well as joint peacekeeping and anti-terrorist efforts have created a good basis for the membership issue to be addressed on practical grounds. All it is done because it is much cheaper and more reliable to do so when in NATO, since in this case much less resources are required to support the military, who can be much lesser in number than the one that Ukraine has now. Ukrainians seem to be happy after the last NATO General Secretary statements made during his Ukrainian visit. He outlined future iridescent trends and raised their role in independent security ensuring so they melted of compliments and ready to do everything that NATO orders. But they forget that those compliments were made with the definite aim. Ukrainian troops serve today in Kosovo and Iraq to help NATO with soldiers. But they will leave Iraq very soon. Didn▓t justified hopes! And also it is bad for the Ukrainian president due to the following elections. So NATO wants to send Ukrainians to Afghanistan and replace German and Britain soldiers. Why? Because the situation there is going to be hot. Ukraine remains to be a scapegoat. It served the US, now it is time to help the EU.
