Talk:Ukraine–NATO relations

Russia-NATO
Russia is not a member of NATO, not going to be a member and it is not intending to join military or any other alliances with Ukraine. But Russia is mentioned 6 times in this article.

I propose to move all Russian concerns from this article into "Russia-NATO relationships". --DmitriyR (talk) 02:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia may target its missiles at Ukraine if its neighbour joins NATO and accepts the deployment of a US missile defence shield.[24]


 * Prime Minister Vladimir Putin allegedly declared at a NATO-Russia summit in 2008 that if Ukraine would join NATO his country can contend to annex the Ukrainian East and Crimea[10]


 * This sort of info should be in this article, unless you consider these statements normal... — Mariah-Yulia (talk)

Of course the NATO–Russia relations should be expanded with this info too a little bit of WP:Fork is sometimes necessary. — Mariah-Yulia (talk) 20:10, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I put the UKR-RUS tensions in it's own paragraph and expanded NATO–Russia relations a bit. — Mariah-Yulia (talk)

Government source for polls
Every single independent poll, whether it's Ukrainian, American or Russian, shows the same figures low figures of about 17-22% in support of joining NATO. Yet the Ukrainian government keeps reporting completely different results, saying there's apparently much more support. They claimed that according to a Razumkov center poll, support was at 30%. Yet when we go to Razumkov's website, it shows support is half that. What a joke, do they think people are that dumb? Please stop inserting this ridiculous propaganda into the article, unless it's to show the huge contrast between government figures and every other independent source.

Orphaned references in Ukraine–NATO relations
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ukraine–NATO relations's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "RatingJuly12": From Ukraine:  From Ukraine–European Union relations: The language question, the results of recent research in 2012, RATING (25 May 2012) 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 01:31, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

CGTN source
The CGTN source is the only one which counts the deputies for and against the motion in State Duma. If a more reliable source can be found use it. In the meantime, this doesn't seem like falsified information, therefore the blanket CGTN ban makes no sense here. Armduino (talk) 09:52, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I noticed that the article text for which you used CGTN as source was for the statement that the Duma asked Putin to recognize the breakaway territories. This article fact was widely reported in reliable sources, and in fact had such a source (Radio Free Europe) right next to the CGTN ref.  There was no need to use the CGTN source. Only in your most recent edit re-installing the CGTN source did you add a statement about the vote counts in the Duma on the issue; this data was not so widely reported and the RFE source didn't give it, unlike (I presume) the CGTN article.  Still, that data was reported by some reliable sources (I found an acceptable one in the second set of 20 search results from Google), and even the questionable but not deprecated source Tass was a top result for the data.
 * After you added the Duma vote data to the article (of some slight interest, I suppose), once again removed the CGTN reference and added a  in its place.  I will presently replace the {cn} with the source I found (Fortune) which gives that Duma vote.
 * Basically there is no need to rely on the deprecated source CGTN, and like all deprecated sources, it should be avoided. --R. S. Shaw (talk) 18:33, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Map under section "Russian opposition to Ukrainian NATO membership"
THe map under this section appears to use the wrong colors for Finland and Sweden. It uses a color lighter than those of NATO member countries, but darker than countries in the process of accession, despite being in the process of accession. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:06, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Neither source given nor external reference found to claim that in 2004 NATO was given "free access" to Ukraine
in the chapter "History of Relations" following statement is made:

"On 6 April 2004, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on the free access of NATO forces to the territory of Ukraine."

This is a rather broad statement which seems to suggest that NATO troops were allowed to freely enter Ukraine territory. This seems unlikely, and neither is any source given in the article, nor was I able to find more information on this in an extensive online search.

I suggest that either more details and sources should be added to this paragraph, or otherwise it should be deleted. Rabbit without ears (talk) 16:18, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Ukraine–NATO relations → NATO–Ukraine relations – alphabetizing per the standard for hundreds of bilateral relations articles. Cf., e.g. NATO–Russia relations. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:32, 12 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Oppose (STRONGLY). I think the alphabetization rule makes complete sense when it's between two nations, but multinational organizations generally supersede the alphabetization rule and come last in titles. "NATO-Russia" is merely a bizarre exception that should probably be fixed to match with Serbia–NATO relations, Sweden–NATO relations, Switzerland–NATO relations, this page (Ukraine–NATO relations), and the FIFTY (50) pages in the "[NameOfCountry]–European Union relations" format in Category:Third-country relations of the European_Union. Paintspot Infez (talk) 19:42, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you then think we should have this standard: bilateral state-to-state goes alphabetical and "bilateral" state-to-IGO is "state-then-IGO" no matter alphabetical order? If so, that's totally legit by me, and I can remove this request and make the inverse request at the Russia article. . ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that works! Like, it's basically already the (possibly-unofficial but still widely-used) standard, given how all the other pages are set-up. Paintspot Infez (talk) 00:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
