A sovereign, independent and stable Ukraine is essential to security in Europe and beyond, NATO said today as tensions between pro- and anti-Russian factions stoked fears the country could break apart.
Such a Ukraine, "firmly committed to democracy and the rule of law, is key to Euro-Atlantic security," NATO said in a statement agreed by member state defence ministers.
