Head of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Representation to Ukraine and Director of the NATO Liaison Office, Alexander Vinnikov, told about the main tasks in reforming the security and defense sector of Ukraine in 2020.
This is stated in Vinnikov’s column “Ukraine-NATO: New Challenges and Opportunities,” published by Tizhden publication.
“In 2020, a new cycle of planning security and defense issues will begin in Ukraine. A new national security strategy, a military security strategy, a strategic defense bulletin should be adopted, as well as a series of inspections in the security and defense sector,” Vinnikov said.
The implementation of these tasks would shape up key strategic priorities of Ukraine’s policy in the security and defense sectors for the coming years, which will require not only strategic thinking, but also strategic actions.
According to the director of the NATO Liaison Office in Ukraine, the reform of the Security Service of Ukraine is the main element, and the Alliance together with the EU and the United States has for more than three years been providing advisory support to the reform of the Security Service of Ukraine in the framework of the International Advisory Group.
“European and Euro-Atlantic partners will welcome the transformation of the Security Service of Ukraine into a depoliticized, effective agency that will focus on fulfilling its main tasks defined by the law on national security. These include counterintelligence, counterterrorism and protection of state secrets,” Vinnikov is convinced.
