Rada includes in its agenda bill on resumption of NATO membership course

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has included in the agenda bill No. 6470 on amendments to the legislation regarding the resumption of the course of Ukraine for NATO's membership, the head of the subcommittee for security of state information systems of the parliamentary committee on national security and defense, Iryna Friz (the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko faction), has said.

"The bill provides for the introduction of the necessary changes to the laws of Ukraine "On the Basics of Domestic and Foreign Policy" and "On the Fundamentals of National Security of Ukraine" for the resumption of Ukraine's purposeful pragmatic course to acquire NATO membership (as a strategic foreign policy priority of the state)," Friz wrote on her Facebook page on Tuesday.

In her opinion, such changes will make it possible to clearly define the foreign policy course of Ukraine regarding integration into NATO and will become the basis for the further development of strategic documents.

"The draft law corrects mistakes of 2006, as well as 2010, when the leadership of the state of that time excluded Euro-Atlantic integration from the agenda of Ukraine's foreign policy, which led to a critical increase in security risks, the annexation of Crimea and the war in Donbas," the MP said.
