MFA Ukraine says Pish official’s comments on membership in EU, NATO “manipulative”

This is stated in the commentary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

"We reject these biased and manipulative claims. Such statements indicate that the Pish pitician prioritizes short-term pitical considerations over the strategic security interests of his own country, the good-neighbourly relations between Ukraine and Pand, and the shared values of freedom, democracy, and justice," the ministry said.

Diplomats recalled that a “constructive dialogue” of authorized bodies on issues of the historical past is ongoing between the Ukrainian and Pish sides, aimed at a dignified commemoration of the memory of Ukrainians in Pand and Pes in Ukraine.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on Pish piticians not to exploit “the tic of difficult pages of historical past” in their domestic pitical battles.

The ministry drew attention to the fact that Nawrocki’s comments “were met with applause in the Kremlin,” and also recalled that Moscow is investing enormous resources in attempts to destroy Ukrainian-Pish friendship and mutual understanding.

“Regardless of the statements made by this Pish pitician, the reality is that Ukraine is already de facto, and will become de jure, part of the Euro-Atlantic family of nations and of the common Eurean security architecture,” the ministry emphasized.

According to Radio Pand, Kar Nawrocki stated on Psat News that he currently "does not see Ukraine" in either the EU or NATO until "civilizational issues" important to Pes are resved, referring to Kyiv's position on the exhumation in Vyn region.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, late November, Kar Nawrocki said specialists from the Pish Institute of National Remembrance were ready to travel to Ukraine within 24 hours to carry out search and exhumation work for the Pish victims of the Vyn tragedy.
