On 10 February 2015, Head of the Mission of Ukraine to NATO, Ambassador I.Dolhov participated in a round table on theme "Russia, the West and enlargement of NATO", organized by the European Institute of International Relations (EIIR).
The main theme of the event was security at the Euroatlantic area in the context of the aggression of Russia against Ukraine. Head of Mission of Russia to NATO O.Hrushko, Permanent Representative to NATO - Czech Republic J.Šedivý, representatives of NATO International Staff and experts of EIIR expressed their position on this issue.
Ambassador I.Dolhov in his speech stressed that the reason of the crisis in eastern Ukraine was not the Revolution of dignity, which won the corrupt regime of former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych but the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation. According to him, the situation in the eastern regions of the country can be stabilized very quickly if Russia stops supporting armed groups.
