NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Wednesday that the alliance will continue to support Ukraine, supplying them with a military support package that would help the Ukrainian army transition from Soviet-era artillery to more modern weapons.
“We are extremely focused on stepping up, providing more support, more advanced weapons … because we support them in their just fight against the brutal Russian invasion,” Stoltenberg said at a press conference in Brussels ahead of a NATO Defense Ministers meeting.
Ukraine will continue receiving “practical support, lethal and non-lethal support from NATO allies and NATO” that would enable Ukraine “to continue to modernize its armed forces, something NATO allies have worked on for many years but stepped up now,” he said.
“This is our focus and Ukraine’s most urgent need as we speak,” he added.
Stoltenberg also said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be invited to the NATO summit in Madrid in two weeks.
