Quote: "Today in the NATO-Ukraine Council, we discussed Ukraine’s priorities on its path to NATO membership. Including long-term interoperability and defence procurement," Stoltenberg said.
Stoltenberg said that a modernised defence and security sector will help Ukraine win and ensure peace and stability.
NATO Secretary General also said that the allies appreciated Ukraine's efforts in continuing the fight against corruption, even amid Russia's brutal war.
"We also made clear that NATO will step up support to help Ukraine weather another difficult winter. This includes providing more cold weather clothing, demining capabilities, fuel, and medical equipment. This will help the brave Ukrainian forces to fight through the cold. And continue to press forward," he said.
