Why is Kiev rejecting non-aligned status?
Rejection of the non-aligned status of Ukraine started to be established yesterday, when the Verkhovna Rada voted in favor of the corresponding bill of President Poroshenko. This rejection was caused by the desire of the new Kiev authorities to join NATO, but these plans are not destined to come true, in the opinion of political scientists Sergey Mikheev, Vladimir Zharihin, Sergei Slobodchuk and Sergei Kizima.
