Individual Partnership Action Plan

In 2021, NATO established a new framework for relations with partner states, which it refers to as Individually Tailored Partnership Programmes (ITPP).

[1] Individual Partnership Action Plans (IPAPs) are in implementation with the following countries:[2] Armenia,[4][5] Azerbaijan,[6] Kazakhstan,[7] Moldova[8] and Serbia[9][10] have stated they have no current intention to join NATO, but all of them participate in NATO's Partnership for Peace program.

[17] However, under the foreign policy of new President Viktor Yanukovych in 2010, Ukraine announced that it no longer had NATO membership as a goal,[18][19] and passed a law stipulating the country's non-aligned status.

[20] Following months of Euromaidan street protests that began because of his refusal to sign an Association Agreement with the European Union in favor of deals from Russia, President Yanukovych was overthrown.

In response to the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and the deployment of Russian troops in eastern Ukraine in the War in Donbas, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yatsenyuk announced his intentions to resume the bid for NATO membership in August 2014.
