He stands for the European integration of Ukraine, including joining NATO . In his opinion,

There are two ways to Europe. First, the EU does not require a country that wants to join this organization to become a member of NATO. The second way - thanks to NATO membership, Ukraine could significantly accelerate EU accession, since according to NATO standards, democratic reforms (political, economic, social, judicial, etc.) must be carried out in advance in the candidate country. In addition, these reforms still give money. This would accelerate Ukraine’s accession to the EU. If we refuse help, we must find our own resources and opportunities. And stop arguing how beneficial and disadvantageous Ukraine’s entry into NATO and the EU is for Russia. All decisions in both international organizations are taken collectively. One vote against is enough - no decision is made. If Ukraine entered there, it would become a serious lobbyist for Russia's interests.
