NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has called on Ukraine to implement the law on national security, which was approved last year and which provides for parliamentary oversight of defense agencies and reform of the Ukrainian Security Service.
He stated this at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Thursday, October 31, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

“The new Parliament has worked at remarkable speed, with more than 500 draft laws registered in one month. We encourage you to build on this progress,” he said.

Stoltenberg also assured that NATO would continue to provide support to Ukraine.

“NATO will continue to provide advice and practical support. To take forward security and defense reforms in the Law on National Security. To strengthen the rule of law. To ensure the rights of minorities. To fight corruption. And to make all aspects of public life open and transparent. So that the institutions of Ukraine can better serve the interests of the people of Ukraine,” he said.

He also added that these reforms are very important “to ensure security and prosperity for all Ukrainians. And to bring Ukraine closer to NATO”.
