Vinnikov said NATO "has been supporting Ukraine increasingly actively both politically and practically in recent years." "Our continued commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity is demonstrated by the decision by NATO Allies to hold a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Commission at the highest level during the Warsaw Summit, which will be held on July 8-9," he said.

According to the director of the NATO Liaison Office in Ukraine, the main document which should be adopted at the meeting is a "comprehensive assistance package for Ukraine."

"The first is democratic oversight. And the key role here should be played by the Parliament and civil society to provide oversight over the security and defense sector. And the second direction where NATO has increased its engagement is the wider security sector, that is, beyond the defense forces," he said, adding that the SBU plays a particularly important role in this area.
