The ministers of foreign affairs of the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance supported the development of a multi-year support program for Ukraine, which will help it to get closer to NATO.
This was announced by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at a press conference in Brussels following the meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Commission.
"We will develop a multi-year initiative to support Ukraine, which will help ensure the conditions of Ukraine's defense, transition from Soviet-era equipment and doctrines to NATO standards, and increase operational interoperability with NATO," he said.
According to the NATO Secretary General, this step demonstrates the Alliance's "long-term commitment to Ukraine and brings Ukraine closer to the Euro-Atlantic family."
"We encourage Ukraine to continue the path of reforms - even in difficult times," he noted.
