KYIV — While NATO is teetering, Ukraine is watching on with astonishment — and a grain of hope.

U.S. President Donald Trump this week said he was seriously considering withdrawing his country from the alliance. The statement alarmed NATO members like Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who said the scenario "looks like Putin's dream plan."

But Alyona Getmanchuk, Ukraine's ambassador to NATO, reacted to the news with surprising optimism, telling POLITICO the current turbulence could lead to the alliance's renaissance.
