Ukraine explains motives for suspending European integration to NATO

Kyiv has informed NATO of the motives of the Ukrainian government's decision to suspend the country's European integration, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reported on Wednesday.

Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andriy Olefirov provided the relevant explanations during a Ukraine-NATO commission session.

"The Ukrainian party provided exhaustive explanations regarding the motives of postponing the signature of the association agreement between Ukraine and the EU and regarding the recent events in our country's domestic political affairs," it said.

"NATO reaffirmed that Ukraine is an inalienable member of the European family and the Alliance's valuable and special partner, which should continue its progress toward European integration," the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.
