President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg within the Munich Security Conference.
The President thanked for the continued solidarity of the Alliance with Ukraine, support for our country's sovereignty, territorial integrity and Euro-Atlantic aspirations.
“The reforms we are working on bring Ukraine closer to NATO. We are modernizing the country's security and defense sector in accordance with NATO standards,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed.
The President noted the ongoing implementation of the relevant annual national programs under the auspices of the NATO-Ukraine Commission, which are an effective tool for systemic transformations in the country. The issue of Alliance granting Ukraine the status of the Enhanced Opportunity Partner was also raised.
Jens Stoltenberg expects further assistance from Ukraine in international missions and sees progress in achieving peace through the restoration of the Normandy format.
The parties discussed the implementation of the agreements after the meeting of the Normandy Four in Paris on December 9, 2019 and the situation in Donbas.
