According to Stoltenberg, the ministers today agreed to strengthen military and other support for Ukraine, which will include a “wide range” of weapons. The head of NATO declined to give details and did not comment on whether the alliance agreed not to continue supplying certain types of weapons in fear of Russia’s response.

Most of the Alliance’s 30 countries have provided weapons to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion, including anti-tank missiles and air defense systems. Kyiv also receives drones, but the alliance countries are hesitant to supply the required fighters. According to unofficial information, the Czechia was the first state to supply Kiev with tanks.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, who attended the NATO summit, said before that Kyiv needs new weapons systems now, as it may be too late in a few weeks.

“Either you help us now – and I’m talking about days, not weeks – or your help will come late and many people will die,” Kuleba told reporters in Brussels after the meeting.
