Pushkov urged Rutte to listen to Kellogg's words about Ukraine's membership in NATO

Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov called on NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to listen to the words of US President Donald Trump's special envoy Keith Kellogg about the impossibility of Ukraine joining the military bloc. He made the corresponding statement on April 20 in the Telegram channel.

We are talking about the statement: "We were extremely frank: Ukraine's membership in NATO is not being considered. You will not become a part of NATO," which Kellogg made during a visit to Odessa.

"Rutte needs to read this statement and stop fooling around," the senator said.

On April 19, US President Donald Trump's special envoy Keith Kellogg announced that Ukraine would not become part of NATO. He noted that the United States has been talking about the impossibility of accepting Ukraine into the alliance since 2008. Kellogg added that the minerals deal that Washington and Kiev plan to sign will provide the United States industry with minerals and precious metals that are not mined there.

On April 4, Alliance Secretary General Mark Rutte stressed that no one had promised Ukraine to join NATO immediately after the end of the conflict. He noted that the alliance had previously only promised Kiev an irreversible path to membership in the organization.
