Opinion: Ukraine must dictate terms of relations with NATO

Political debates in Ukraine are a part of a democratic process, and I believe the affairs are being changed for better, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs David J. Kramer told.

Irrespective of some disappointment by the Prime Minister or the President, they still secure democracy in Ukraine, David J Kramer said.

As far as Ukraine's EuroAtlantic integration is concerned, David J Kramer stressed Ukraine should be in charge of its future, but nobody else. In case Ukraine decides to deepen links with NATO, the US will support it. We understand NATO's support in Ukraine is low. Both the President and the Prime Minister aired their decisions to promote informational campaign for the society to become aware of Ukraine's relations with NATO. It is obvious that Ukraine will dictate terms of relations with NATO and nobody intends to interfere in the process, David J Kramer said.
