The Ministry reported that 280 NATO standards have been implemented in the Defence Ministry and in the Armed Forces as of now, including 174 standards within the Ukraine-NATO Partnership Goals (priority NATO standards), and 106 of the so-called "initiative" implemented by Ukraine outside the Partnership Goals.

Background: The media reported on 28 November that disagreements remain among the NATO allies concerning Ukraine’s rapid accession to the Alliance due to the stance taken by the US and Germany, which are insisting that the process should be determined by the conditions rather than political considerations.
