Such an opinion in an interview with the newspaper “Vzglyad” expression Stanislav Tkachenko, Professor of the Department of European Studies at the Faculty of International Relations at St. Petersburg State University, comments on the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ dissatisfaction with the way Kiev participated in the NATO summit in Vilnius.
