Ukraine is preparing to pass a new law preventing the country from joining any military alliance, including NATO.
The legislation was put forward by the new governing coalition in parliament, in support of the recently elected President Viktor Yanukovich.
The move signals a complete U-turn on the policy of the previous leader, Viktor Yushchenko, who had actively pushed for NATO membership.
Kiev says it will still continue its dialogue with the Western alliance on common interests.

Victor Yushenko should join Boris Berezovsky in England and hopefully Georgia's Shakashvilli and Poland's President Lech Kaczynski join them soon.
It sounds like, that, all these comments came from the same source! NATO is not the warsaw pact,if compairing military alliances.Which I believe the mentality of comments seem to lean towards. OH! By the way. RT you are biased because of who actually controls the media in your country any how!
In my opinion this is very bad. Since the parliament will pass a law prohibiting the country from joining ANY military alliances, it will mean, that apart from not joining the NATO anymore, which is a great success, it cannot join the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation) either! And that, I think, is a pity!
