Ukraine’s president asks NATO for more military support against Russia

LVIV, 25 March 2022, (TON): Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed to NATO leaders to increase military support for his country against Russian forces that he warned would next target alliance members in eastern Europe including Poland.

Addressing a NATO summit in Brussels, Zelensky said Ukraine needed fighter jets, tanks, anti-ship weapons and improved air defense to repel Russian troops as the war enters its second month.

Zelensky said “I am sure you understand that Russia has no intention of stopping in Ukraine.”

“It wants to go further. Against eastern members of NATO. The Baltic states. Poland for sure.”

While NATO is expected to step up support for Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said the alliance will not send troops or planes to Ukraine.

Zelensky said he was grateful for the support Ukraine had received from individual NATO member states.
