In the event of war, NATO is not Ukraine assistant.

The possible entry of Ukraine into NATO will not save the country in the event of military conflict. The opinion was expressed by a senior researcher at the Institute of Katona, the former special assistant to U.S. President Ronald Reagan Doug gangs.

First and foremost, this move will raise tensions with Russia. Intervene in Ukraine as «in which case» no one will: "Each country must rely on security first and foremost for themselves. Politicians can make promises, but these promises are not always respected. It is important to remember that the most beautiful promises and speeches does not necessarily mean military assistance if necessary ", - said Bando, speaking Tuesday at a meeting of« round table », organized by the American Institute in Ukraine.

If we consider the hypothetical option of Ukraine becoming a NATO member and get involved in the conflict with Russia, the United States leadership is likely to choose a line of non-participation in the conflict. «Even if America decides that it wants to fight, then it may be that it would have to fight alone, without European allies», - said the expert, adding that in Europe the prospect of military conflict with Russia no one «can no longer enthusiasm ».
