UKRAINE: Seeking NATO Membership Is Dead.

GUARDIAN.UK/    A Ukraine that once hungered for NATO membership will now let the issue drop. "Ukraine will continue developing its relations with the alliance, but the question of membership is being removed from the agenda," said Foreign Minister Kostyantyn Gryshchenko. The nation's new president, Viktor Yanukovich, was quoted as saying: "Entry into Nato is not realistic for our country today. Nato conditions would require us to have the support of the majority of the population."
