16:26 Yushchenko will tell Obama about the main threat to Eastern Europe

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko wants to meet with U.S. counterpart Barack Obama and tell him about the origins of the main security threat in Eastern Europe. This is Yushchenko himself said in an interview with Bloomberg. According to the Ukrainian leader, the main source of instability in Europe - it began the process of revising borders, that has already occurred, for example, in Georgia. "What happened in Georgia is not its only problem is the problem of the European Union. What happened violating the integrity of borders means that it is possible. We have all become more vulnerable," - said Yushchenko. He added that Ukraine's accession to NATO would keep Ukraine within its present borders, and recalled that Russia is still blocking the demarcation of the border with Ukraine. At the same time, Yushchenko also admitted that when he is trying to talk to someone about his country's accession to the Alliance, the answer he is often silent. This Ukrainian president is not very pleased: "Europe must learn to unity. The entry of Ukraine into NATO would benefit both sides, with the alliance gets even more." Earlier, Yushchenko has repeatedly spoken in favor of Ukraine joining NATO, arguing that NATO membership would be a guarantee of the inviolability of the borders of his country. However, the majority of Ukraine's population, according to opinion polls, Yushchenko did not share the enthusiasm for NATO. Ukrainian president intends to meet with U.S. counterpart in New York, where he held the UN General Assembly. To learn whether Obama wants to meet with Yushchenko, no information yet.
