2 MIN READ
The Director General of the NATO International Military Staff (DGIMS), Lieutenant General Remigijus Baltrėnas, visited Kyiv, Ukraine, 16-17 December 2025. During meetings with Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine Anatolii Kutsevol, the leadership of Ukrainian General Staff, Air Force Command and Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, DGIMS received the latest situational updates and expressed NATO International Military Staff (IMS) views on how to further strengthen cooperation with Ukraine.
“NATO and Ukraine have experience to share, and thus continue strengthening partnership and support common security interests. Therefore, the cooperation, the sharing of lessons learned, and commitment through Joint Analysis, Training, and Education Centre (JATEC) in Poland will continue to be mutually beneficial for both parties,” highlighted Lieutenant General Baltrėnas.
The visit traditionally started with wreath-laying ceremony at the Memorial Wall to commemorate and pay respects to the fallen defenders of Ukraine. Later on, DGIMS was briefed by the General Staff of Ukrainian Armed Forces on the operational updates on the ground.
“Everyday, Ukraine is fighting not only for its freedom but also for the freedom of the Western world. Ukrainians are protecting values of the West. I would like to appreciate the great warriors and great people of Ukraine,” said Lieutenant General Baltrėnas in his statement.
DGIMS was subsequently briefed on the shifts in the battlefield, and in each military domain. Lieutenant General Baltrėnas praised the professionalism of Ukrainian Armed Forces and expressed highest gratitude for their sacrifice and dedication. Finally, DGIMS reafirmed that NATO support to Ukraine will continue through all existing mechanisms.
