Ukraine army chief meets with co-chairs of Multinational Joint Commission

"We face serious challenges and we are overcoming them. At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces ensure the repulse of armed aggression, the reform of the military component of the state and the acquisition of military criteria for NATO membership," Zaluzhny said at the meeting.

He noted that the priorities remain unchanged: completing the process of transforming the system of joint leadership of defense forces and military management, an automated control system as the main component of this transformation, completing the division of responsibilities between the Ministry of Defense, the Commander-in-Chief and the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, reforming personnel management and military education systems.

Zaluzhny also noted that Slovakia has also joined the Multinational Joint Commission, which opens up new opportunities for strengthening cooperation. He congratulated Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic, General Stefan Kovacs, on this occasion.

The newly appointed Ukrainian co-chair of the Multinational Joint Commission, Chief of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Serhiy Shaptala, was introduced at the meeting.
