"Ukraine's experience on the battlefield and the valuable lessons learned by our troops can make us more resilient to future threats. JATEC represents an opportunity to strengthen the development of new technological approaches to preparing for future threats," Umerov said.The decision to launch JATEC was made following the NATO-Ukraine Council meeting at the defense ministers' level. The center's tasks will include joint analysis and summarization of defense and security experience, improvement of the training and military education system, fostering interoperability, and developing the capabilities of Ukraine's Defense Forces.
"This is the first joint institution of the Alliance and Ukraine. The final goal is to achieve full interoperability between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the forces of NATO countries," Stanislav Haider, Deputy Defense Minister of Ukraine for Institutional Development, said.During the NATO-Ukraine Council meeting, Minister Umerov expressed deep gratitude to all those involved in the preparation, especially the NATO International Secretariat, Poland, and Germany.
