Ukraine's deputy defense minister, UWC president discuss criteria for Ukraine's membership in NATO

Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister Ivan Rusnak and President of the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) Eugene Czolij on Friday, September 1, discussed issues of bilateral cooperation and criteria for Ukraine's membership in NATO, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's press service said.

"The two discussed many topical issues of bilateral cooperation, in particular, Ukraine's achievement of criteria necessary for NATO membership, the language training for Ukrainian servicemen and teachers," the report said.

Czolij said UWC supports Ukraine in counteracting the Russian aggression. "The World Congress of Ukrainians will continue to make every effort to ensure that the international community knows what is really happening in Ukraine. This is an important factor in our common struggle against the hybrid warfare that has been taking place on Ukrainian territory for more than three years," he said.
