NATO Military Committee arrives in Kyiv for first visit in eight years
The NATO Military Committee, the alliance's highest military authority, has arrived in Kyiv for an official visit, marking the first time the body has convened in the Ukrainian capital in eight years. The delegation includes military representatives from all 32 NATO member states.
Led by Committee Chairman Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the delegation met with Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi to receive direct assessments of the battlefield situation. The discussions focused on Ukraine's immediate military requirements, including ammunition, air defense, intelligence support, and unmanned systems.
Admiral Dragone emphasized that the visit serves to strengthen the bond between NATO and Ukraine amidst ongoing Russian aggression. He also addressed efforts to undermine alliance support through cyberattacks and sabotage, stating that such actions would fail. The visit occurs amid broader debates regarding the sustainability of European military aid and the long-term prospects of Ukraine's NATO membership.
