(MENAFN- UkrinForm) EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarina Mathernova said this in an interview with Ukrinform.

The diplomat noted that, in her opinion, it is entirely fair to state that Ukraine is already part of the new European security architecture.

In this context, she recalled that the European defense strategy very much talks about Ukraine as part of that defense strategy going forward and that the SAFE instrument provides funding for EU member states while also strongly encouraging the creation of joint ventures and shared investments with Ukraine.

"Honestly, your defense tech is second to none. I mean, you are the world leaders on a lot of the technology and I always tell my colleagues back in Brussels that should there be a war conflict, I want Ukrainian Army having my back and not facing me. So I think that every European should feel much calmer and safer with Ukraine in our midst," Mathernova said.
