Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said an agreement has been reached with NATO to arrange an effort by the Alliance to monitor the situation in the Sea of Azov.
“We reached an agreement that NATO will monitor the situation in the Sea of Azov and will ensure the security in the region. This is what we need right now,” Poroshenko said at a press conference he held jointly with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Brussels on December 13, following their talks there.
He said that such a monitoring mission by NATO will help assess the situation in that region in a better way.
At the same time, Stoltenberg who spoke to the press before Poroshenko did not mention any of such agreements; however, he said NATO will continue to provide assistance and support to Ukraine.
