Ukraine adopts NATO standards despite the Big War

Enhancing interoperability with NATO in 2022-2023

282 NATO standards have been implemented in Ukrainain legislation (as of 1 June 2023);
25% of the overall existing NATO standards;
Of them: 131 standards implemented during 2022-2023;
Trained by NATO: since the beginning of big war 10 000 Ukrainian soldiers were trained within the UK-led Operation INTERFLEX (by February 2023), over 16 000 – by the EU MAM (by April 2023), 11 000 – by the US in combined-arms manoeuvre and staff training (by June 2023);
Western partners are often positively impressed by the ability of Ukrainian soldiers to rapidly master Western weapons systems and acquire new skills during trainings;
Mass supply of Western weapons to Ukraine leads to a more human-centred approach in Ukrainian army, changing combat tactics and philosophy of exploitation of equipment.
