NATO-Ukraine Commission meeting to take place today

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg will receive Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Olha Stefanishyna on Monday (10 January).

This is stated on the NATO website.

It is noted that the Deputy Prime Minister will take part in a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Commission, which will be chaired by the Secretary-General of NATO.

Following the results, Stoltenberg and Stefanishyna will hold a joint press conference, the statement said.

The meeting of the commission will take place before a series of meetings: US-Russian talks on Ukraine in Geneva on January 10; Russia-NATO Council meeting on 12 January; OSCE Permanent Council meeting on 13 January.

As reported by Rubryka, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg reaffirmed the decisions of the Bucharest Summit on the future membership of Ukraine and Georgia in the Alliance, despite aggressive rhetoric and blackmail by Russia.

One of the main points of the ultimatum currently being issued by Russia is NATO's public rejection of the Bucharest summit's decisions on future membership of Ukraine and Georgia, as well as written guarantees of non-proliferation to the east and the former Soviet Union. If the West refuses to accept such Russian "proposals," the Kremlin authorities publicly threaten to take measures of a "military and military-technical nature" and continue to concentrate troops around Ukraine's borders and its temporarily occupied territories.
