Launch of e-newsletter and new web pages!
This is the first NATO-Ukraine e-newsletter, which will be sent out every two
months (or more frequently, depending upon the volume of stories). It is
compiled from stories published on the new NATO-Ukraine web pages on our web
site, which feature up-to-date stories as well as background information about
NATO's cooperation with Ukraine.
We are also making more information available online about NATO in Ukrainian
