In a briefing later that day Yushchenko said he gave Yanukovych his first political warning and confirmed there is a joint plan to correct the situation. We shall see if this happens.
Yushchenko described Yanukovych’s attempt to revise foreign policy at his recent meeting at NATO headquarters as unacceptable.
The previous day Yanukovych had called for a pause in plans to join NATO, but said Ukraine would continue efforts to join the EU.
Yushchenko said the opposite, reiterating that the country’s goal to join the EU and NATO would not change.
The mixed messages are a problem.
