He said this idea had been put forth in Russia's proposals concerning the settlement of the crisis in Ukraine. "This thesis is reflected in our proposals. We are convinced that a new constitution should clearly state the non-bloc status of Ukraine," the minister said.
"The Americans hear this. As to how much they understand this can be judged from their public statements. Last week in Brussels, President Barack Obama said that neither Ukraine nor NATO was prepared for this, and this issue should not be discussed now," Lavrov said, referring to calls for Ukraine's admission to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

Refat Chubarov was addressing hundreds of delegates gathered in Bakhchisaray Saturday to decide whether to hold a referendum among Crimean Tatars to determine their future.
Chubarov asked the delegates to approve “the start of political and legal procedures aimed at creating ethnic and territorial autonomy of the Crimean Tatars of their historic territory of Crimea."
Russia annexed Crimea earlier this month, after residents of peninsula voted overwhelmingly to split from Ukraine following the ousting in February of Ukraine's pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych.
Crimean Tatars largely boycotted the vote, which the West said was illegitimate.
