NATO Foreign Ministers on Wednesday (25 June 2014)
agreed on plans to develop a robust Alliance Readiness Action Plan for
the Alliance’s Summit in Wales this September and endorsed a package of
support measure to strengthen Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. “The
Summit comes at a time when security challenges are multiplying beyond
our borders,” NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said. “Today
we stressed the importance of our collective defence.”
Ministers held talks with their Ukrainian counterpart Pavlo Klimkin and
endorsed a package of additional measures to strengthen Ukraine’s
ability to defend itself. This includes the creation of new trust funds
to support defence capacity building in critical areas such as
logistics, command and control, cyber defence and to help retired
military personnel to adapt to civilian life. “Ukraine has a clear vision for rebuilding its defence and security sector and a clear strategy for resolving the crisis,” the Secretary General said. He stressed that President Poroshenko’s peace plan is “a major step forward and we fully support it,”
and called on Russia to create conditions for the implementation of the
peace plan, to end its support for separatist troops, and to stop the
flow of weapons and fighters across its border.
Ministers agreed to maintain the suspension of practical civilian and military cooperation with Russia.
