Moscow: Ukraine’s accession to NATO makes the alliance’s direct involvement in the conflict inevitable

According to RCO News Agency, Alexey Polishchuk, the head of the second department of the Russian Foreign Ministry in the affairs of neighboring countries, warned about Ukraine’s possible membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Speaking to the Sputnik News agency, he said: “Kiev’s joining NATO in the current situation eliminates the possibility of a political and diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine and makes the direct involvement of this alliance in military operations against Russia inevitable.”

In response to a question about the recent statements of Peter Sziarto, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, Polishchuk stated this position that Ukraine’s joining NATO would mean a direct confrontation between this alliance and Russia and lead to the third world war.

The official of the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out: We constantly warn about the danger of Ukraine joining NATO.

He clarified: Ukraine’s potential accession to this coalition ends the possibilities of a political and diplomatic solution to the war and makes it inevitable that NATO directly participates in hostilities against Russia and leads to an uncontrollable escalation of the situation.
