In his evening address to the nation, President Zelensky announced that Ukraine is an associate member of NATO’s committee to set military standards for the Alliance.
“Today I would like to highlight one decision that looks like a technical one, but there is a lot of symbolism and meaningful political work behind it. Ukraine became an associate member of NATO’s special multilateral program on technological interoperability. To put it more simply, it is about Alliance’s standards. Now Ukraine not only implements NATO standards, but also can participate in the development of new standards.”
