Ukraine considers as a priority task the deepening of cooperation with NATO and the attainment of the full compatibility between the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the relevant forces of the alliance's states by 2020. This is determined by the new version of the Military Doctrine, the text of which is posted on the official website of the Ukrainian president on Thursday.

For instance, according to the document, Ukraine believes that each country has the right to ensure its security through integration in such security structures which meet its interests most of all.

"After the refusal from the non-aligned policy Ukraine works out new approaches to ensure national security, gives a priority of participation in the improvement and development of Euro-Atlantic and European collective security systems. For this Ukraine will integrate in European political, economic and legal space in order to acquire membership in the European Union, as well as to expand cooperation with NATO to attain criteria required for membership in this organization," the document said.

With this in view, the doctrine said that the priority task for deepening cooperation with NATO is the attainment of the full compatibility between the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the relevant forces of the NATO states by 2020.
