Further support for Ukraine with weapons and other military equipment is the main topic of today’s meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers in Brussels. As the Secretary General of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, pointed out this morning, there should be no room for misunderstanding in the Moscow calculations in terms of NATO ‘s readiness to protect and defend all allies.
He added that there was an urgent need for additional support for Ukraine, as further pressure from Russia was expected in the coming days and weeks, with the aim of completely occupying Donbass and establishing a link with the occupied Crimea.
“We have to be realistic, the war can last a long time, we have to be prepared both in terms of supporting Ukraine and in maintaining sanctions and strengthening our defense,” Stoltenberg said.
Enhanced defense assistance
Ukraine’s support will include anti-tank weapons, air defense systems, cyber assistance and the provision of equipment for protection against chemical and biological threats.
NATO is also expected to decide to provide assistance to other alliance partner countries, such as Georgia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are considered vulnerable to Russian threats.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba is also taking part in today’s meeting. .
