Ukraine will not be able to join NATO because of the Europeans’ fear of a war with Russia, said German Ambassador to Kiev Anka Feldguzen, RIA Novosti reports.
Feldgusen noted that the North Atlantic Alliance has always had problems with countries in which there are territorial conflicts.
“Because one of the advantages of NATO is the fifth article of the Washington Treaty. And everyone is afraid to be in a direct war with Russia”, – Feldguzen said in an interview with the Mirror of the Week.
Earlier, the candidate for German chancellor and chairman of the Christian Democratic Union Armin Laschet said that Nord Stream 2 could be stopped if Russia uses it as a “weapon” against Kiev.
