“At a time stability and political balance in Europe are destroyed, we must seek new means of ensuring mutual security,” said the Ukrainian president, adding that he will present a bill to the Verkhovna Rada in this regard.
“After returning to Ukraine I will submit a bill on the cancellation of [Ukraine's] non-aligned status,” Poroshenko said.
During the presidency of Viktor Yanukovich, Ukraine had been declared a non-aligned country, rejecting integration to NATO.
