NATO will create a Trust Fund to support the defense potential of

Ukraine on the long-term perspective, NATO high-rank official reported

at a briefing on June 23 talking about an agenda of forthcoming meetings

of the North Atlantic Council (NAC) at the level of Foreign Ministers in

Brussels on June 24-25.

He said that the Trust Fund and assistance package for Ukraine are

being discussed now only as an initial project. These measures don’t

foresee direct military aid to this country, and would be focused on

reforming the armed forces, the modernization of logistics,

communication systems, command and control, and the education and

training of staff.
