NATO Secretary General with Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine 🇺🇦 Olga Stefanishyna , 10 JAN 2022

Join press point by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg with the Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine, Olga Stefanishyna, 10 January 2022.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Deputy Prime Minister, dear Olga, welcome.

Welcome back to NATO Headquarters.

It’s always a great pleasure to meet with you and to have this opportunity to address the situation in and around Ukraine.

We just had a very good meeting and then we will continue later on with a meeting with all the 30 NATO allies in the NATO-Ukraine Commission later on today.

We just addressed the evolving situation in and around Ukraine.

Russia’s military build-up continues.
With tens of thousands of combat-ready troops, armed with heavy capabilities.

On Friday, NATO Foreign Ministers called again on Russia to remove its forces from Ukraine and from your borders.
Demonstrate transparency.
And de-escalate.
Any further aggression against Ukraine would come at a high political and economic price.

NATO Allies are united in their support for all nations to choose their own path.

This has been a fundamental principle of European security for decades.

Ukraine is a valued and long-standing partner to NATO.

And today’s meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Commission comes at the start of an important week for European security.
The United States and Russia are currently meeting in Geneva.
On Wednesday we will hold the NATO-Russia Council meeting here in Brussels.
And on Thursday, the OSCE will meet.

Our meeting in the NATO-Ukraine Commission is a timely opportunity to exchange assessments on the situation.
To express Allies’ strong political and practical support to Ukraine.
And to coordinate ahead of diplomatic engagements with Russia.

I welcome that Russia has agreed to our offer to hold a meeting of the NATO-Russia Council later this week.
This is a positive signal.

We will focus on European security issues, transparency related to military activities, risk reduction and arms control.

We will listen to Russia’s concerns, but any meaningful dialogue must also address our concerns about Russia's actions.
And it must take place in consultation with Ukraine, as we are doing today.
We are also consulting closely with other partners, including Georgia, Moldova, Finland, Sweden, and the European Union.

So Deputy Prime Minister, thank you again for being here today.
I’m looking forward to our discussions with all 30 Allies in the NATO-Ukraine Commission.

So once again, welcome.
