The United States intends this year in the Ukrainian issue to move from
providing aid to the country to repel the aggression to assistance in the #defense_reforms, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt has stated.
"Our goal in 2016 is to move beyond emergency response that deals with
the immediate crisis of Russia's invasion and focus on defense cooperation
aimed at helping #Ukraine build the #NATO-standard military structures and
institutions," the official said at Ukraine Defense and Security Forum
2016.
The ambassador stressed he welcomes the stated position of President of
Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and Minister of Defense Stepan Poltorak to further
reform the security sector.
"We want to see Ukraine continue to make progress in developing modern
military doctrines, to implement the excellent recommendations that the RAND
Corporation has made for defense sector reform, and to improve Ukrainian
interoperability with NATO partners and allies," Pyatt said.
