LONDON (AA) - NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Tuesday discussed the military support to Ukraine and the country’s "path to NATO."

In a phone call, the two discussed steps on Kyiv's "path to NATO," Kuleba wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"We discussed the adapted Annual National Program and a full-fledged rollout of the Ukraine-NATO Council," said Kuleba, adding that he also informed Stoltenberg about Ukraine's preparations for the first Defense Industries Forum.

For his part, Stoltenberg said on X: “I welcome that #Ukraine is gradually gaining ground, and that #NATO Allies are providing major support – including F-16 jets & training from Denmark, Netherlands, Norway & the US.”
