Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov has offered NATO countries to work together on the Antonov An-70 project.

"I would like to call your attention to the possibility to resume the Antonov An-70 project which will eventually meet the demand of our countries for strategic air transportation," Turchynov said at a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO joint high-level working group dedicated to military reform issues in Kyiv on Wednesday.

"An artificial freeze on our military-technological projects will play into the hands of revanchist and imperial forces and foster the offensive potential of the aggressor," he said.

He said the Ukraine-NATO joint groups on military reforms and military-technological cooperation should aim to coordinate planning, fulfillment and control over bilateral and multilateral projects.

Counseling provided by alliance member countries remains important to Ukraine, he pointed out.
