NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced on Thursday that the North Atlantic Defense Alliance will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine in its fight against Russian invaders. This also includes heavy weapons, Stoltenberg said on Thursday before the deliberations of the 30 foreign ministers of the NATO countries in Brussels. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on arrival that Ukraine needs “weapons, weapons and weapons”. “We know how to fight, we know how to win.”
But without heavy weapons, the suffering of his people will only be prolonged, Ukraine’s chief diplomat said. The country needs airplanes, heavy anti-aircraft systems and mobile rocket launchers. In particular, Kuleba addressed its appeal to Germany. “It is clear that Germany can do more.” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reiterated on Wednesday that his government’s arms deliveries to Ukraine would continue. Kuleba also reiterated its call for a complete oil and gas embargo against the aggressor state. Ukraine will continue to “press” this.
NATO deliberations on aid to Ukraine
Foreign ministers of the 30 NATO countries will discuss further support for Ukraine and an expansion of defense capabilities in the Eastern Alliance area on Thursday. In addition to Kuleba, EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell and colleagues from Finland, Sweden and Georgia were also expected as guests.
Kuleba will report, among other things, on the latest developments in the war with Russia and on attempts to negotiate peace. Secretary-General Stoltenberg warned at the beginning of the meeting on Wednesday about the assumption that the war would soon end.
There are no signs that Russian President Vladimir Putin has given up on his ambitions to control all of Ukraine, he said. One must be aware that the war can last “many months or even years”.
