In 2019, Ukraine will get an absolutely new in its essence Ukraine-NATO Annual National Programme. The ANP is a mechanism for real convergence of Ukraine with NATO, without waiting for political will regarding the future membership of Ukraine in the Alliance. It was the first time when the general principles of strategic planning were employed: specificity, feasibility, attainability, timing, and continuity. It was also defined that the ANP is not about bilateral cooperation with NATO, but is a fully functional programme of all required domestic reforms for gaining membership in the Alliance.
