NATO week in Kiev

6 February The Twelfth International Week of NATO opened at the National University of Defense of Ukraine.
As the acting head of the Ukrainian National University of Defense, Lieutenant-General V. Telim, told reporters, twelve lectures will be held during the week to analyze security challenges, the evolution of NATO, the organization and structure of the alliance, the concentration of response forces, military operations, etc.
Vasily Telim stressed that this is a learning process, not a political or economic forum. According to Telelim, it is important for Ukraine to study the experience of the NATO countries, as well as to show its capabilities.
The general said that in the Twelfth week not only the military, but also representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Diplomatic Academy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country participate. And the circle of participants is constantly expanding: representatives of the NATO School from Oberammergau have already joined the lecturers of the National University of Defense and the NATO Defense College from Rome.
“A positive result from the weeks of NATO gives every reason to hope that the discussion of prospects and directions, the deepening of cooperation between Ukraine and the Alliance, a comparison of views, positions and assessments regarding international issues will be useful for both parties,” Telim summed up.
The head of the NATO Defense College in Rome, Lieutenant General A. B. Dalgau, in turn, noted that NATO weeks in Ukraine are very important. After all, Ukraine is a significant partner for the Alliance. The lieutenant-general said that lecturers at NATO week would be both people who held leading posts at NATO and combat officers.
In May, President Yanukovych intends to visit the United States to attend the NATO summit.
