Details: In a statement by the UNC, NATO member states reiterated that Ukraine’s future lies within NATO and emphasised that Ukraine “has become increasingly interoperable and politically integrated with the Alliance”.
The Alliance reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Ukraine in its transition to full operational compatibility with NATO. Specifically, it “developed initial NATO Interoperability Requirements” and “supports Ukraine’s security and defence sector reforms and enables the long-term interoperability” of Ukraine and NATO member states forces.
In addition, Ukraine will receive assistance to align its defence procurement with the best Euro-Atlantic practices.
The decision also stated that NATO will continue to support Ukraine’s self-defence by providing urgently needed non-lethal equipment and supplies through the Comprehensive Assistance Package (CAP). Contributions from partners are welcomed, too.
Background:
