Our congratulations to graduates COL Oleksandr Demenko and Prof. Oleg Poshedin of the Ukrainian National Defense University for their efforts in organizing “International Week 2012 -  NATO: Common Responses to Common Security Challenges”.  The event was held in close cooperation with the NATO Defense College (NDC) of Rome and featured numerous presentations by leading staff of NDC and UNDU. The event served to familiarize UNDU officers with NATO’s current and future role and priorities; improve their knowledge of NATO, its organisation and working methods; identify the security challenges faced by NATO and its partners as well as demonstrate the importance of a strong partnership between Ukraine and NATO.
