NATO defense attaches assure Ukraine of support for its territorial integrity

“US, Canada’s, and UK Defense Attaches met with Minister of Defense [of Ukraine] Taran, Deputy Minister Petrenko, Deputy Minister Polishchuk, Joint Forces Commander Lieutenant General Naiev, and Colonel Budanov,” the U.S. Embassy posted on Twitter.

The Embassy assured Ukraine of support in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity: “We stand with Ukraine as it defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity and are watching the situation in Ukraine closely.”

As reported, President of Ukraine Zelensky said on April 1 that the "muscle-flexing" in the format of military exercises and possible provocations along the border was a traditional activity of the Russian Federation, trying to create an atmosphere of threat and pressure during the talks.
