ikalugin,

I understand it as that Yasenyuk has asked parliament to back a change of the constitution to give up the national constitutional no-block rule as an opening of the road for NATO membership.

NATo secretary Rassmussen meanwhile said that NATO "respects" the Ukraine'S wish to join nature, whatever that "respect" should mean, but it has the advantage to cost nothing. Slamming the door sounds different. But cheerfully welcoming somebody sounds different, too.
