"Our next ambition is the Membership Action Plan (MAP) for Ukraine. This is what my letter to Jens Stoltenberg on February 2018 was about, where, with reference to Article 10 of the North Atlantic Treaty, I officially fixed Ukraine's aspirations to become a member of the Alliance," the president added.
He also expressed gratitude for a firm position on supporting Ukraine.
"I am grateful for the firm support of Ukraine, for which one of the key priorities of national security is to achieve the criteria for membership in the Alliance," Poroshenko said.
As UNIAN reported earlier, NATO had recognized an aspirant country status for Ukraine.
