After gaining NATO Enhanced Partner status, Ukraine is seeking a membership action plan.

A year ago, Ukraine acquired the status of a NATO partner with expanded capabilities. Results of this year let down at the General Staff on Saturday, June 12.

So, among the main advantages of the special status they named there:

–

• increasing the list of training activities for personnel and units, including participation in NATO exercises on collective security (Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty),

• admission to cybersecurity exercises,

• deepening the exchange of information,

• increasing representation in NATO headquarters and structures in positions that are closed to other partner countries.

“Further effective use of the ESM status will help Ukraine achieve the appropriate military criteria for gaining full membership in NATO – a strategic goal of our foreign policy,” the General Staff noted.

They note that Ukraine’s accession to NATO will help strengthen the defense potential not only of our country, but also the strengthening of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

“Already today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are a real shield of Europe and make a colossal contribution to strengthening European security. The status of a NATO partner with expanded capabilities opens up new horizons for our state and its Armed Forces and at the same time imposes a serious responsibility,” message.

Earlier, NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Joana also said that there is no consensus in the Alliance according to the action plan for Ukraine and for upcoming summit On June 14 a decision on it will not be made

The President’s Office says that Ukraine has done everything necessary to obtain the MAP.
