NCIA has been providing advisory and technical support to Ukraine in the context of the bilateral Ukraine-NCIA Memorandum of Agreement for Technical Cooperation signed in January 2022, and through the NATO’s Comprehensive Assistance Package for Ukraine, closely coordinated with NATO Headquarters and the Strategic Commands. The Comprehensive Assistance Package is the overarching framework to provide Ukraine with non-lethal support and help the country achieve full interoperability with NATO.

“Support provided through the Comprehensive Assistance Package has sparked wide-reaching digital transformation across the Ukrainian military — not only on the frontline but also in logistics and support structures. Thanks to this contribution, we are building a faster, more efficient army. I believe we will continue our fruitful cooperation and expand these reforms even further,” said Chernohorenko.

“We are extremely proud to support Ukraine and contribute to its digital resilience, paving the way for deeper interoperability with the Alliance. Our cooperation, delivered through the Comprehensive Assistance Package, reflects NATO’s broader commitment to long term security and stability for Ukraine,” said Decamps.
