While in February 2023 there were only 77 standards introduced under the Partnership Goals, the full-scale war did not stop Ukraine's integration into the North Atlantic space.

To recap,
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the situation on the frontline in Ukraine is extremely difficult, especially in the east. And despite the fact that the front line has not moved significantly, Ukrainians were able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian invaders, both in personnel and in terms of reduced combat capabilities.
