NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Wednesday that the alliance’s foreign ministers agreed to develop a «strategic, multi-year assistance program» for Ukraine that aims to increase its interoperability with NATO and to bring its military up to NATO standards.
«We must ensure that President Putin cannot continue to chip away at European security. We must enable Ukraine to deter and defend against future aggression. This includes strengthening Ukraine’s armed forces and arrangements for Ukraine’s security,» Stoltenberg said.
