NATO's assistance package should be implemented by 2020

NATO's comprehensive assistance package for Ukraine needs to be implemented by 2020, Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has said.

"The decisive actions of our partners have helped develop the document, which states that we can get access to as many assistance packages in as many areas as we are able to put into practical reforms that we have to complete, according to our strategic defense bulletin, in 2020 and fully bring the defense sector and the security sector to the NATO standards," Poroshenko said in a joint statement with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Kyiv on Monday.

He noted that Ukraine is the only country which is not a NATO member, but which has received such an aid package and had an opportunity to hold separate meetings of the NATO-Ukraine Commission at the summit in Wales in 2014 and in Poland in 2016.
