NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said that arms deliveries to Ukraine should be continued in the long term as this is not charity but an investment in the North Atlantic alliance countries’ own security.
“What you are doing is very much needed for NATO’s security. Supporting Ukraine is not charity, it is an investment in NATO countries’ own security,” Jens Stoltenberg said at a joint approach to journalists with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitriy Kuleba on the sidelines of the Ukraine-NATO Council meeting.
He said Kiev should receive arms in the form of mandatory long-term deliveries.
“Yesterday we (NATO foreign ministers – ed.) discussed how to create a stronger institutionalised structure for Ukraine’s security. 99% of all military aid to Ukraine comes from NATO countries, but we need to ensure that this is all predictably and fairly distributed among the countries of the alliance,” – said Jens Stoltenberg.
We will remind, earlier Jens Stoltenberg admitted that NATO has problems with military reserves.
