Oleksiy Danilov , Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine , notes that one of the countries of the European Union has blocked Ukraine’s accession to Cyber ​​NATO.

As an UNIAN correspondent reports, he spoke about it on the air of the talk show “Right to Power”.

“There is such an institution called Cyber-NATO. And last summer we submitted the relevant documents there, passed all the relevant checks. And there, just like in NATO, decisions are made by consensus. So, one of the European countries refused us participation ours in this respected institution,” Danilov said.

He stressed that this happened despite the fact that there is a war going on in Ukraine and cyberattacks are constantly taking place.

“This is a country of the European Union, these are our neighbors. They refused us… One country out of all that is part of this Alliance is against it. So are these partners in quotation marks or are they partners who, as they say, are sincere?” .

  1. I’m really thinking that we need a better alliance then NATO and the EU. After seeing this shit I’m beginning to see why the UK wanted out!!

  2. Europe, for the most part, has become a deprived swamp. I’m afraid that as time passes, the Ukrainian people will start turning their backs to this club of spineless cowards and Rusikie ass-givers. I wouldn’t blame them one bit. Only a small handful have proven to be true friends and supportive in numerous ways. For them, it is time to split away from the EU and NATO and to create better institutions, together with Ukraine.
