On 3-4 April, the Ukraine-NATO Commission will meet in Brussels for the first time since 2017, when Hungary began blocking Kyiv’s rapprochement with the North Atlantic Alliance. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister will attend the commission meeting at the level of foreign ministers, where he will conduct negotiations ahead of the NATO Summit in Vilnius in July, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oleh Nikolenko said.
