The military-political leadership of Ukraine continues expanding cooperation with the North Atlantic alliance, so the president P. Poroshenko has signed the Bill "On Ratification of the Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and Organization of the North Atlantic Alliance".

Also Ukraine actively uses the help of foreign experts while training of the national armed forces' staff. The assemblies that had been carried out by the military of the Bundeswehr Center of mine clearing (AF of Germany) came to anend on February 26 in the Center of mine clearing under the Central administrative board of the AFU expeditious providing. The German military acquainted the Ukrainian sappers with the material and technical base and the system of identification and neutralization of explosive objects which are used in Bundeswehr.

Thus, despite the unstable internal political situation in the country, the leadership of Ukraine continues the military buildup and searching of allies in the military-political field for the purpose of the solution of the Donbass issue by force.
