NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg: Ukraine becomes a NATO member

Long-term help

Ukraine needs not just short-term bilateral assistance, but long-term and predictable military assistance, says Stoltenberg. Stoltenberg did not address NATO’s proposed 100 billion euro fund. But it is clear that more money and a coordinating role for NATO are needed, emphasized the Secretary General.

The foreign ministers of the NATO countries want to press ahead with preparations for the next alliance summit at a meeting in Brussels on Wednesday. Specifically, the question will be how support for Ukraine, which is being attacked by Russia, can be made even more effective. According to diplomats, Stoltenberg made several suggestions about this. A NATO mission is supposed to coordinate arms deliveries to Ukraine.
