Stoltenberg announces NATO's intention to provide Ukraine with air defence systems
NATO's top priority is to provide Ukraine with air defence systems, the alliance’s chief says adding that Russia bears ultimate responsibility for the explosion in the east of Poland
This was stated at a briefing on Wednesday by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
“NATO and NATO Allies provide support to Ukraine. We help Ukraine to uphold the rights for self-defense. That is a right, which is enshrined in the UN Charter. And of course, Ukraine has the right to defend itself against Russia's illegal war of aggression. And our main priority now, or one of the top priority now is to provide more air defense systems for Ukraine,” he said.
