"NATO has already facilitated the supply of various types of military equipment and equipment to Ukraine ... In addition, NATO member countries also provide Ukraine with various types of military supplies on the basis of bilateral agreements," Stoltenberg was quoted by TASS.

He also noted that NATO provides assistance in training and consultations of the Ukrainian military, the development of cyber security, conducts joint maneuvers and supports military reforms in the country.

Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that official Kiev had initiated negotiations with partners in the Black Sea region to increase the number of conducted exercises.

Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Russian leader, believes that Ukraine is seeking a military solution to its own problems under the guise of NATO exercises in the Black Sea, but this could provoke another disaster for the whole of Europe.
