THE HAGUE, 15 June 2022, (TON): NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said “Western countries must send Ukraine more heavy weaponry as it battles Russia’s advance in the east of the country.”
Stoltenberg told a press conference “yes, Ukraine should have more heavy weapons.”
Stoltenberg said NATO was already stepping up deliveries and officials would be meeting in Brussels to coordinate further support including heavy weaponry.
Stoltenberg said “because they absolutely depend on that to be able to stand up against the brutal Russian invasion.”
Ukraine has repeatedly begged for heavy weapons from the West, criticizing some European leaders for failing to deliver arms that Kyiv says it needs to push back Moscow’s forces.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Danish premier Mette Frederiksen were hosting Stoltenberg and the leaders of Poland, Romania, Latvia, Portugal and Belgium ahead of a crunch NATO summit in Madrid at the end of June.
