KIEV, Nov. 16 – NATO will be ready to speak about Ukraine's accession to the Alliance after a seven-year transition period, and Kiev is going to make it within 5-6 years, acting chief of Ukraine's Mission to NATO Yehor Bozhok said.

"At least this is the timeframe stipulated in the standards of the transition period due to be determined by NATO. When we spoke about the fulfillment of the entire range of the criteria, we talked that Ukraine would have to meet them within five to six years. All the new NATO member states have had precisely a period of that length," Bozhok said during an online conference when answering a question from online newspaper Ukrainska Pravda whether it is realistic to conduct the reform for seven years.
