The NATO Military Committee is to hold a visiting meeting in Ukraine in March 2020, APA reports citing Unian.

"I've been notified by the Mission of Ukraine to NATO that late in March 2020, the NATO Military Committee will hold a visiting meeting at Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Ground Forces Academy and subordinate military units," chief of the Academy, Lieutenant General Pavlo Tkachuk said on Facebook.

In this regard, he noted that "it is a special honor [for the Academy] and at the same time a huge responsibility." "The Academy staff have begun preparations for this most important event for the international cooperation of Ukraine and its armed forces to decently represent our country," Tkachuk noted. The Military Committee (MC) is the senior military authority in NATO and the oldest permanent body in NATO after the North Atlantic Council, both having been formed months after the Alliance came into being.
