NATO welcomes reports on upgrading, strengthening Armed Forces of Ukraine

The NATO Military Committee has welcomed data reported by Kyiv on progress in strengthening Ukrainian Armed Forces, head of the committee General Petr Pavel has said.

"We welcomed the new data on progress in the development of Ukrainian Armed Forces. This is particularly important in view of the realities in the field of security in the east of Ukraine and along the eastern borders of the country," he said at a press conference.

"During the working session with Ukraine the commanders of NATO member states reiterated their condemnation of Russia's annexing Crimea and the continuing active support of separatists in eastern Ukraine," Pavel added.
