NATO membership carries obligations, because situations may arise – and we have already experienced them – when NATO follows a United Nations appeal and conducts an out-of-area military intervention where, for example, genocide is being committed. In other words, NATO membership, like EU membership, comes at a price.
北约成员资格规定了义务，因为可能会出现这样一种情况，而且我们已经经历了，那就是北约响应联合国的呼吁，在北约以外、例如种族屠杀正在进行的地方实行军事干预。换句话说，如同欧盟成员资格一样，北约的成员资格是有代价的。但是，我认为有益之处要远远大于可能的不利之处。乌克兰人民要自己作出决定，并进而克服后革命时代的理想破灭。
