Grushko: Ukraine's accession to NATO rules out achieving peace

Moscow will seek ironclad guarantees preventing Ukraine from joining NATO. Kyiv's accession to the alliance would make achieving peace impossible, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said,reported from TASS.

"For us, this is one of the key elements of possible agreements regarding the conflict in Ukraine. This element is connected with eliminating the root causes of this conflict. And we will seek not only ironclad legal guarantees that would exclude Ukraine's NATO membership in any form, but we will also insist that this becomes the alliance's policy itself," said the deputy minister.
