Western countries should send more heavy weapons to Ukraine in their fight against Russia’s advance to the east of the country, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Tuesday.
“Yes, Ukraine should have more heavy weapons,” Stoltenberg said at a news conference in The Hague, after meeting with leaders of the seven European NATO allies ahead of the Atlantic Alliance summit.
Stoltenberg said NATO is already “intensifying” deliveries and will hold meetings in Brussels on Wednesday to coordinate further support, including heavy weapons.
“Because they absolutely rely on it to stand up to the brutal Russian occupation,” Stoltenberg said. Said.
Ukraine repeatedly requested heavy weapons from the West, and some European leaders were criticized for failing to deliver the weapons Kiev needed to repel Russian forces.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen welcomed Stoltenberg and leaders from Poland, Romania, Latvia, Portugal and Belgium ahead of the NATO summit in Madrid at the end of June.
