The first meeting of the project team regarding the launch of JATEC (NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre) - the first joint institution of the Alliance and Ukraine - was held in the city of Bydgoszcz. This was reported by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on March 6.
"We consider the Center, along with the mechanisms of the Ukraine-NATO Council, as an additional structural element for our integration into the Alliance," said the Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine, Olga Stefanishyna.
She urged the project team to focus on current issues, contributing to finding effective solutions in the field of security and defense, especially in the context of Russian aggression.
"Ukraine will benefit from any practical knowledge and experience that can help us protect people and ensure our own security, be it on the ground, in the sky, at sea or in cyberspace," added Olha Stefanyshyn.
The decision to launch JATEC was made after the meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council at the level of defense ministers on February 15, 2024.
