Oleksandr Turchynov: The adoption of the Law "On National Security of Ukraine" is an important step that brings our country to NATO

The adoption of the Law "On National Security of Ukraine" is an important step that brings our country to NATO - said the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov in a comment.

According to him, the Law of Ukraine "On National Security of Ukraine", adopted today in general, sets the main parameters for the transition of all components of our country's security and defense sector to NATO standards.

"The law defines the NATO and European standards and parameters for the national security and defense sector. It defines the structure, functions, management system, strategic planning system, as well as a multi-level system of civilian control", - stressed the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, thanking experts from Allied member states who helped to draft this law and People's Deputies who had supported the law and voted for it.

"It is fundamentally important that the decision to approve this law was taken on the eve of the NATO summit in Brussels, where Ukrainian delegation headed by the President was invited", - summed up O.Turchynov.
