NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has released his Annual Report for 2022. It details NATO’s work and achievements throughout the year, including the Alliance’s unprecedented support to Ukraine following Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country, the continued strengthening of the Alliance’s deterrence and defence posture in light of the biggest security crisis in Europe since the Second World War, and the adoption of a new Strategic Concept at the Madrid Summit.

Georgia is also mentioned in the report.

"Georgia is one of NATO’s closest partners and aspires to join the Alliance. Over time, a broad range of practical cooperation has supported Georgia’s reform efforts and its goal of Euro-Atlantic integration. The deteriorating security environment resulting from Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine significantly affects Georgia," the report said.

According to the report, "allies remain committed to supporting the eventual NATO membership of Georgia and Ukraine, in line with decisions taken at the 2008 Bucharest Summit and reaffirmed this at the 2022 Madrid Summit."

"NATO Leaders committed to continue increasing political and practical support to Ukraine as it defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russian aggression. In light of the changed security environment, Leaders also agreed new measures to step up tailored political and practical support to partners, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia and the Republic of Moldova. [...] In April, Allies agreed to increase political and practical support to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia and the Republic of Moldova, to help them strengthen their institutions and resilience, develop capabilities and uphold their political independence," the report said.
