The usual format of participation for Poroshenko would be a meeting of the Commission Ukraine-NATO (KUN). However since autumn of last year, Hungary blocks such meetings at the level of politicians. In particular, during this meeting there was no meeting of the Commission with participation of the Minister of defence of Ukraine Stepan Poltorak, who is in Brussels.
As reported by DW, in April the Minister of foreign Affairs of Hungary Peter Siarto said that Budapest can block even the meeting of the Commission Ukraine-NATO with the participation of the President of Ukraine during the summit. “KUN will be meeting at the summit, it depends only on Ukraine. If the Ukrainian government will resume the Hungarians of their rights violated, we agree with the Commission Ukraine-NATO”, – said the Minister.
Possible formats for meetings
So now NATO is pondering possible alternative format. According to Stoltenberg, one option may be a meeting of leaders of the countries participating in the mission “Resolute support” with training security forces in Afghanistan, in which Ukraine also participated.
