Mons, Belgium - NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) is beginning to assume responsibilities from U.S. and international organizations established to provide support to Ukraine soon after Russia’s invasion of the country in February 2022.

“The work of NSATU – to coalesce Allied and partner support – is designed to place Ukraine in a position of strength, which puts NATO in a position of strength to keep safe and prosperous its one billion people in both Europe and North America,” said U.S. Army General Christopher G. Cavoli, Supreme Allied Commander Europe. “This is a good day for Ukraine and a good day for NATO.”

This is a good day for Ukraine and a good day for NATO.

“NSATU is now at a point in its development where it is taking on responsibilities from the International Donor Coordination Centre (IDCC) and the U.S.-led Security Assistance Group – Ukraine (SAG-U),” said German Army Major General Hartmut Renk, NSATU deputy commander.

Allies agreed to establish NSATU at the NATO Summit this past summer in Washington, D.C.

The organization will coordinate the provision, transfer and repair of military equipment critical to Ukraine’s operations, as well as training in Allied countries to bolster Ukraine’s military effectiveness. These tasks will be synchronized with efforts to develop Ukraine’s future military force, in order to achieve full interoperability with NATO and align with NATO standards.
