Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, speaking at the meeting of the
organization's Parliamentary Assembly in London, has called on the European
Union to provide a more practical support to Ukraine. In a few weeks, "the
whole North Atlantic Council will go to Ukraine, visit Ukraine, and express our
strong political support, and I urge also NATO Allies to provide even more
practical support to Ukraine. They need our support. This is about supporting
Ukraine, but it is also about upholding and supporting a rules-based order,
which is of great importance for all of us," Stoltenberg said in his
address.

The
secretary general added that on the path of Ukraine's further Euro-Atlantic
integration, including membership, "the focus should be on reforms, on how
to modernize Ukraine's defense and security institutions". As
UNIAN reported earlier, NATO officials will visit Ukraine Oct 31. During their
stay, the delegation will visit Kyiv and Odesa. Ukraine's Foreign Minister
Vadym Prystaiko expressed hope that NATO leaders would get a clear picture of
the developments in the Black Sea area and approve a corresponding aid package,
also called "Black Sea Package" that the Alliance had earlier offered
Ukraine.
