Groysman: NATO fully supports Ukraine

All of the 28 NATO countries fully support Ukraine in issues relating to its sovereignty and territorial integrity, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said, commenting on the outcome of the meeting with NATO Deputy Secretary General Rose Gottemoeller.

"I want to emphasize that I have heard very clear messages that the alliance fully supports Ukraine. There are no two different opinions on this matter. All the 28 member countries have absolutely spoken in support of Ukraine and they understand the processes that are taking place in the country," the website Uriadovy Kurier reported on Thursday evening, citing Groysman's statement to 112.Ukraine TV channel.

The Ukrainian prime minister also said the meeting with Gottemoeller, which also addressed a number of new issues that may further bilateral cooperation, was fruitful. One of them was considerable support from the Ukrainian State Emergency Situations Service to ensure effective internal security in the country. "We discussed that we can increase our cooperation in this sphere - the training of our military, work with trust funds that provide technical assistance to Ukraine under a cooperation program," Groysman said.

"I was satisfied by that meeting. We synchronized the clocks. I believe that, as regards NATO, everything shows very clearly that Ukraine is supported and understood and there are no other thoughts in the alliance," Groysman said.
