At the annual meeting of the MIP Steering Group, a decision was made to join Ukraine in the technical cooperation program of NATO members. As a member of the MIP, Ukraine get the right to influence the combat standards of interaction with adjacent systems.

"Ukraine has a powerful IT potential and a worthy ally — NATO. I am sure that we will bring our expertise to the development of collective security," minister of defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov.

This decision shows progress in developing Ukraine's ability to situational awareness in the world," head of the Center for innovations and development of defense technologies, colonel Marat Utyushev.
