Ukraine will participate in NATO's rapid response unit as early as 2015, according to a top official of the alliance.
According to a representative of the NATO military committee, Colonel Massimo Panizzi, a country doesn't need to be a member in order to participate in this unit. However, Ukraine will become the first non-member country to participate.
Panizzi refused to specify what that participation may involve.
His comment comes as Ukraine braces itself for the second round of the presidential election in a country where, according to the latest polls, almost 60 percent are against Ukraine's NATO bid.

What caused the rift between Russia and Ukraine? Apparently, at one time they had a lot in common. There is so much anamosity today.

USA and its puppet UShenko. Didn't you know? Russia and Ukraine will always have a lot in common. That's why criminals from USA and UK want to divide us.
