The cooperation program reflects key steps toward Ukraine’s political, economic and social reforms, as well as the main components of its national security and defense policy.

The annual Ukraine-NATO cooperation plan defines objectives and practical reform measures to improve Kiev’s defense capabilities in collaboration with NATO.

Ukraine dropped its non-aligned status last year to open a path toward becoming a NATO member. Ukraine aims to pass reforms that will make its armed forces compatible with those of NATO member states by 2020, according to its updated military doctrine.
