Ukraine's integration into NATO, by contrast, would have far-reaching strategic consequences, ending any residual Russian hopes of forming a ampquot;Slavic Unionampquot; composed of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine - a dream that still beats in the breast of many Russians. It would also have important implications for the Russian defense industry, notably air defense and missile production.
相反，若乌克兰加入北约，将会产生深远的战略影响，这会让俄罗斯人心中那一丝建立一个由俄罗斯、白俄罗斯和乌克兰组成的“斯拉夫联盟”的梦想成为泡影。现在这个梦想仍然存于俄罗斯人心中。这也会对俄罗斯国防工业，尤其是空中国防和导弹生产工业，产生重要的影响。
