Ukraine's president signed a bill Monday dropping his nation's nonaligned status but signaled that he will hold a referendum before seeking NATO membership.
Using a news conference to sign the legislation, which parliament had adopted last week, Petro Poroshenko vowed to reform Ukraine's economy and military forces to meet European Union and NATO standards.
But he also said he will leave it up to Ukrainian citizens to decide in a popular vote whether to join NATO or not.
"When we are able to conform to these criteria, the people of Ukraine will make up their mind about the membership," Poroshenko said, adding that this will likely happen in the next five to six years.

The war of 1812 had North American causes. That’s pretty different from this situation.
And we had neither neocons nor liberal interventionists back then. We need to put the kibosh on both of them NOW!!!
Yes, the Russians just decided one day that Ukraine needed to be invaded. Yup...that’s just the way they are.
Not.
Thanks for the strawman fallacy.
Ping me when you have a serious response.
"The Ukraine is weak!"
OK, here is a serious response:
It would not be possible for me to care less about Russia. I do not give a hoot about Ukraine. I care only slightly more for Europe.
They are all a people who cannot wait to slaughter each other.
Can we vote to leave NATO? I don’t want American sons and daughters to die in any more shit hole countries.
There is opinion war will last for 4 years. I wonder how Ukraine will survive without Russian gas and coal.
