“I think this is not possible now.
And that's because NATO is a consensus organization.
c98f179c-7d97-42eb-887d-66e33dd70dcb
I think now it will be difficult to even reach a consensus on obtaining a NATO Membership Action Plan”.

Opining on Russia’s actions in Ukraine in 2014, Condoleezza Rice said that Russia has “crossed all possible red lines”.

In order to “contain” Russia, the Ukrainian army needs support from the West, the diplomat noted.

She added that she supports the deployment of NATO military contingents to Poland and the Baltic states, and Washington should continue to impose anti-Russian sanctions.

She also condemned Russia for the poisoning of ex-GRU colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the British city of Salisbury.

Continuing on the Donbass occupation issue after 2014, Rice said, “I think all participants in the negotiations realize that Minsk.
[the Minsk agreements]. is not working.

We must take a step back and understand what are the necessary elements for stability in eastern Ukraine.
