**Well there it is! The balkanization of Ukraine that has been often written about here at PFYT2.**

[**Rasmussen does not rule out having Ukraine join NATO piece by piece**](https://news.am/eng/news/769612.html)

> **Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the previous Secretary-General of NATO, does not rule out that Ukraine join the alliance piece by piece.** Earlier, Germany had partially joined NATO in 1955.

> Of course, **this is a difficult thing, and ultimately everything depends on Ukraine’s decision**, **but at least it is not impossible, Rasmussen stated.**

> He noted that **the entry of the western and central parts of Ukraine into NATO can have a significant impact on the residents of Europe**

> Rasmussen emphasized that now **the issue of Ukraine’s membership is actively being discussed in NATO**. The difficulty is that if Ukraine joins NATO in full, the alliance will be forced to enter into conflict with Russia. **Therefore, it was proposed to initially unite Ukraine’s western and central parts, which are not in the special operation zone. Thus, the fifth article of the alliance will not work.**
