NATO Military Committee delegation arrives in Kyiv for the first visit in eight years
According to him, the trip to Ukraine fulfilled a promise he had made to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykhailo Drapatyi, whom Cavo Dragone called "my good friend."
During the visit, representatives of NATO member countries will speak with Drapatyi to "hear the latest assessment of the situation on the battlefield" and learn "what else we can do to support Ukraine."
Background
As Rubryka previously reported, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi announced the upcoming October arrival of NATO Military Committee Chair Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.
At the time, Cavo Dragone confirmed NATO's ongoing military support for Ukraine on social media.
According to him, members of the Alliance continue to scale up defense production:
As Rubryka reported, Ukrainian drone operators symbolically destroyed a US armored brigade during the Combined Resolve military exercises in Germany. Ukrainian troops operated alongside the simulated enemy, while US units gradually adjusted their tactics to counter drones.
Also, during the NATO REPMUS/Dynamic Messenger 2025 exercises, the Ukrainian team, acting as the "enemy," exposed weaknesses in the Alliance's naval forces and virtually "destroyed" an allied frigate, confirming the effectiveness of combining unmanned systems with tactical experience.
An Alliance spokesperson confirmed the exercises to Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, calling them "a historic milestone that confirms Ukraine's growing role in NATO training," as the Ukrainian fleet coordinated opposing forces for the first time.
In addition, in May, NATO invited drone operators from Ukraine to take part in the Aurora 26 military exercises in Sweden. There, they "destroyed" Swedish forces.
