NATO will accept "multi-year aid package" for Ukraine, - Stoltenberg
At the summit in July, NATO will make a decision on assistance in the modernization of the armed forces, designed for several years.
This was stated by the Secretary General of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, Censor.NET reports with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
"During the summit, the allies will adopt a multi-year aid package that will bring Ukraine into compliance with NATO standards," he said.
According to Stoltenberg, thanks to this assistance, the Ukrainian military "must make the transition from an army based on the old Soviet model to a modern military force that works according to NATO standards."
He also mentioned the advancement of Ukrainian forces at the front in this context.
"We see Ukraine regaining ground after several months of training and equipping its army. But the terrain is difficult and the Russian army has created strong defensive positions, including minefields and anti-tank barriers. It is not easy for Ukrainians to move forward - that's why support is so important." - he stated.
It will be reminded, on July 11-12, the summit of the North Atlantic Alliance will be held in Vilnius.
