Quote from Drapatyi: "Today [21 August – ed.], I spoke for the first time with the Chair of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone… We expect the NATO Military Committee to visit Ukraine in October. The last such visit took place eight years ago."

Details: The commander-in-chief noted that the admiral has visited Ukraine three times and has seen the situation on the ground.

"I briefed him on the situation on the front and our priorities: long-range strikes, flexible infantry tactics and the use of robotic systems on the front line. We also discussed air defence separately. Protecting the skies is my priority," Drapatyi said.

Background:

• Earlier, commenting on Drapatyi's appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, NATO stressed that the Alliance's strategy of supporting Ukraine remains clear and unwavering.
• A spokesperson for NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe also told European Pravda that a meeting between Drapatyi and General Alexus Grynkewich, Supreme Allied Commander Europe and Commander of US European Command, is only a matter of time, as NATO is devoting considerable attention to Ukraine's defence.
