“Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have taken a huge step to get closer not only to the Action Plan for membership in the alliance, but also to full-fledged membership in NATO.

Only at the documentary and formal levels, we have mastered more than 300 NATO standards,” he said in an interview with Ukrinform.

According to him, "far from all the armed forces of European countries that are already members of the alliance have mastered such a number of standards."

Earlier, the head of the British Ministry of Defense, Ben Wallace, said that the UK would supply Ukraine with light anti-tank defensive weapons systems.
