Svyrydenko discusses protection of Ukraine's critical infrastructure with NATO's Deputy Secretary General
Svyrydenko stated this in a Facebook post, Ukrinform reports.
"Today, I met with NATO Deputy Secretary General Radmila Šekerinska during her visit to Ukraine. I was pleased to hear that support for our country continues to remain among the top priorities for members of the Alliance," she said.
During the meeting, the Ukrainian side confirmed the effectiveness of the PURL program as an effective tool for meeting Ukraine's military needs.
It is reported that the amount of financial support since the launch of the program exceeds $3 billion, bringing together almost 20 countries.
"We are grateful to NATO members that are now investing in the production of Ukrainian weapons, and we support the expansion of defense-industry partnerships under the Build in Ukraine and Build with Ukraine initiatives. We also discussed energy security and the protection of our critical infrastructure from ongoing Russian missile and drone attacks," Svyrydenko wrote.
It is noted that Ukraine must continue strengthening Europe's security belt — the frontline regions of Ukraine. Their recovery and reconstruction during wartime are essential for the safety of the entire continent.
As reported earlier, during the night of November 25, Russian forces carried out another combined air attack on Ukraine using cruise and ballistic missiles as well as attack drones. An air-raid alert was declared across the entire country.
