The foreign ministers of the NATO countries will meet in Brussels this Wednesday for talks with their Ukrainian colleague Dmytro Kuleba. The discussions at the defense alliance’s headquarters will, among other things, focus on the situation at the front and Ukraine’s need for support. Ukraine’s plans to adapt its security sector to NATO standards are also an issue.
For the first time, the consultations will be organized at the level of the Foreign Ministers in the format of the new NATO-Ukraine Council. The body is intended to enable closer cooperation until the requirements for Ukraine’s admission to NATO are met. The NATO-Ukraine Council met for the first time at the level of heads of state and government in July at the NATO summit in Lithuania. There has also been one meeting at the level of defense ministers and several at the level of NATO ambassadors.
Without Ukraine, the foreign ministers of the NATO countries had already discussed on Tuesday the ongoing preparations for next year’s anniversary summit in Washington. The three-day summit in July is intended to celebrate NATO’s 75th anniversary.
