Ukraine's events will always be on first positions of NATO agenda – Stoltenberg

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said that it is extremely important to tell the world community and the public about the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

"Everything that happens in Ukraine will always be on the first positions of the Alliance's agenda," Stoltenberg said during a meeting with Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak at NATO Headquarters on Friday.

During the meeting, Stoltenberg noted the continuation of political support and cooperation with Ukraine and announced plans for a visit of the North Atlantic Council in the near future in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Charter on a special partnership between Ukraine and NATO. Within the framework of the visit, it is planned to hold a number of events with the participation of the leadership of the state.

Poltorak informed the audience about the current security situation in the east of Ukraine, the events related to the shelling of the OSCE Mission near Popasna, as well as the activation of sabotage activities in the country.

"We clearly understand all the challenges and threats, including the threats posed by cyber attacks to particularly important state facilities of the country. So, we are planning a set of measures to counter these threats," the Ukrainian defense minister said.
