Georgia demands Russia drop pro-rebel plans ... Hoop Scheffer and Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko have rejected the idea of Russia vetoing Ukraine's membership bid, saying the decision was a matter for NATO alone.
Yushchenko said he hoped Ukraine would be approved as a formal membership candidate this year.
