Times: NATO's readiness suffers due to a number of organizational problems. “Weapons stocks are low, infrastructure is inadequate, logistics are fragile and the equipment itself is outdated,” the journalist said.

Earlier, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said that Ukraine’s accession to NATO remains categorically unacceptable for Russia. Also, the Foreign Ministers of Great Britain and France, David Cameron and Stephane Sejournet, announced the loss of the West in the event of Kyiv's defeat.
