This is a very good signal for the Europeans and NATO, there is a serious Euro-Atlantic agenda for NATO. Secondly, It means some restraint to Ukraine, which until not want to actively implement the Minsk agreement ", - said Danilov.
There is new factor: "NATO prefer not only to strengthen support for Ukraine, but the story is about the Fact that it is necessary to have greater deterrent effect or even increase the pressure on Kiev to he advanced in the execution of the Minsk agreements ".
"As far as I am aware, Ukraine in the face (the head the Ministry of foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavel klimkina Is given to understand and to feel," he said.
