NATO

Romania’s defence minister, Angel Tîlvăr, is taking part on Tuesday and Wednesday in Brussels in the meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group and a meeting of the NATO defence ministers. The Allied defence ministers convene as part of the regular meeting schedule, and talks will primarily focus on continuing support for Ukraine, on the implementation of the decisions taken last July at the NATO Summit in Madrid and on preparing the decision package for the forthcoming Summit in Vilnius. The meeting begins on Tuesday night with an informal working meeting on security developments one year after the start of Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine. Invited to attend are also the defence ministers of Sweden, Finland and Ukraine, and the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
