Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich has made the decision to disband the National Center for Euro-Atlantic Integration, a move that marks a clear policy shift away from his predecessor’s leanings toward NATO.

The current president has repeatedly stated that although Ukraine wants to maintain the current level of cooperation with NATO, it has no plans to join the alliance.
