10. Some commentators highlight certain provisions within the Association Agreement calling for increased security cooperation between Ukraine and the EU to suggest that the treaty was not merely a free trade agreement but also a stealth military pact. Yet NATO membership was never on the table during the Eastern Partnership negotiations, and there were plenty of security issues— including antiterrorism, illegal migration, and drug trafficking—that clearly would have benefited from increased EU-Ukraine cooperation and would not directly threaten Russia’s national interests. If Ukraine actually believed that the Association Agreement included certain security guarantees, it was sadly mistaken, as subsequent events have proven.
