The NATO-Ukraine Council at the ambassadorial level discussed the security situation after Russia launched an experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile last week.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to Interfax-Ukraine.
On Tuesday, a meeting was held in Brussels, during which high-ranking military officials of Ukraine briefed the Council via video link. It was not specified who gave the briefing from the Ukrainian side.
"During the meeting, NATO Allies reaffirmed their support for Ukraine. The attack on Dnipro is seen as yet another attempt by Russia to terrorize Ukraine's civilian population and intimidate those who support Ukraine as it defends itself against Russia's illegal and unprovoked aggression," NATO Headquarters said in a press release.
The NATO-Ukraine Council is a forum for consultations between the Allies and Ukraine on security issues of common concern, including Russia's aggressive war. The meeting was chaired by NATO Acting Deputy Secretary General Boris Ruge.
The next meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council will take place during the meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers on December 3-4.
