BRUSSELS - Ukrainian Ambassador to NATO Ihor Dolhov thanked NATO on Dec. 2 for launching trust funds for Ukraine.

“Among the practical things which the ministers have negotiated today is the five trust funds opened for implementing projects in Ukraine,” he said at a press briefing on Tuesday after a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Commission.

Dolhov also said that the three funds intended for the military reform are each worth 1 million euro. These funds aim to improve the logistics services in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, communications systems’ modernization and the fight against cyber crime, he said.

About 700,000 euro has been provided to the fund for the medical rehabilitation and prosthetic care of the wounded, he continued.

“The fund for the retraining and social rehabilitation of troops who served in the fighting zone is the most modest of the funds and is worth several hundred thousand euro,” Dolhov said.

The trust funds could grow in size in the future, he said.

“We hope that an increasing number of countries will become interested in trust funds as this project is being implemented and its effect becoming visible,” Dolhov said.
