The Armed Forces of Ukraine must fully comply
with standards the NATO countries-participants follow while the Ukrainian
military personnel should have appropriate skills and training, said Prime
Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk during reporting by members of the
Cabinet of Ministers about results of its activities on Friday, August 28.
"Peace can never be granted. Peace must be
fought for. And strong Armed Forces appear a key to achieving peace and
stability in Ukraine", said the Head of Government.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk views among principal
objectives to join NATO de facto before the moment Ukraine will join it de
jure: "It means that the Ukrainian Armed Forces should fully comply with
all the logistics and standards followed by the Alliance’s member countries
while the Ukrainian military have to possess appropriate skills and appropriate
training."
He noted that the current year Government had
allocated almost UAH 100 billion for financing of the Ministry of Defense of
Ukraine.
"We're not going to reduce funding of the
Military Department", emphasized Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
The Prime Minister also noted the need as part
of reforming of the AFU to strengthen the contract and professional component
