NATO to reaffirm unwavering support for Ukraine at meetings in Brussels - State Department

Meetings of NATO Foreign Ministers in Brussels, as well as a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council this week, which will be attended by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, will reaffirm the Alliance's strong commitment to further support for Ukraine.

Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O'Brien said this at a briefing, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“It’ll be the first foreign-ministerial-level meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council. And in that session, they will have the opportunity to reaffirm the Alliance’s steadfast commitment to Ukraine,”

O'Brien noted that meetings in this format are a platform for consultations between NATO members and Ukraine, so the next meeting at the level of foreign ministers is "a very significant step."
