Ukraine in the coming years should not expect to join NATO.

This is on air "The Observer. LIVE "said an international expert Andrei Buzarov.

"Integration into NATO is impossible, first, because of the legal barrier. The fact that we have an unresolved internal conflict, and this contradicts NATO's charter. We must first solve this conflict. Secondly, this is impossible because no NATO country has officially confirmed or declared that it would like to see Ukraine in NATO. Merkel opposes that Ukraine was in NATO. And at the Bucharest summit in 2008, she opposed the ", - said the expert.

Also, according to Buzarov, in order to be in NATO, you need to have an appropriate contract in order to obtain the status of a candidate member.

"Moreover, all agreements with us do not actually work with NATO. They have long since expired, and there is no alternative, "he added..

In addition, not everything is so unambiguous and with public opinion.

"Public opinion in Ukraine is not absolutely about joining NATO, or not. I am convinced that the majority of the society supports this idea, but it is not absolute, "he said..

Buzarov also stressed that the important role in this issue is played by Russia's position.

"And the fifth aspect: no one can predict how the Russian Federation will react to Ukraine's active steps towards NATO. Russia has a border with NATO with only four countries. And I think that Russia's military-industrial complex will not allow NATO expansion even closer through other countries.

Military will not allow. It's not even in Putin, "he concluded..

At the same time he stressed the need to develop cooperation with NATO, and an example should be the example of Sweden and Finland.

As reported by the "Observer", earlier Buzarov said that for the administration of US President Donald Trump, the situation in the Middle East is much more priority than the conflict in Ukraine.
