The Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada has registered a bill on amending some

Ukrainian laws regarding guarantees of Ukraine’s national security,

which should put an end to the country’s non-aligned status and declare a

course toward joining NATO.

The bill, in particular, is aimed at amending the laws on foundations

of Ukraine’s national security and on foundations of domestic and

foreign policy, so as to legislatively proclaim Euro-Atlantic

integration and accession to NATO Ukraine’s strategic foreign political

goals.
