NATO-Ukraine Commission to meet at Warsaw Summit – NATO official
A meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Commission at the level of Heads of State and Government will be held at the NATO Summit in Warsaw, NATO Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow said at the opening ceremony of the 9th Kyiv Security Forum on April 14 in Kyiv.
He said that the Alliance will look at Ukraine and key partners – Germany, France and the United States. He believes that Ukraine has shown its goodwill in the implementation of Minsk agreements. Before holding the Russia-NATO meeting, a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Commission will be held and Alliance members will be able to understand the position of Ukraine and what it has done for the implementation of Minsk agreements. The Alliance then will compare this with Russia's version.
Vershbow reminded that Minsk agreements demand the observation of Ukrainian legislation all over the country and the provision of real security under international monitoring.
He said that this security is impossible in the presence of Russian tanks and threatening people. Ukraine cannot fulfill its liabilities if militants make nothing, he said. It is important that the progress is parallel, Vershbow said.
Warsaw Summit is to be held in July.
