NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) held a meeting of foreign ministers and confirmed that each country will consider the possibility of further assistance to strengthen Ukraine's air defense capabilities.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Kuleba participated in a NATO foreign ministers' meeting held in Belgium on the 4th, and stated that Russia continues to attack Ukraine with missiles and drones, including the provision of Patriot surface-to-air missile systems to other countries. I asked for immediate assistance.
NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg stressed at a press conference after the meeting that ``Ukraine needs further support, including air defense systems and artillery shells.''
``Member states understand the urgent need for increased support, particularly for air defense systems,'' he said, confirming that each country will consider the possibility of further donations.
Secretary General Stoltenberg has repeatedly acknowledged that delays in aid from the West are having an impact on the war situation, such as forcing the Ukrainian military to reduce the number of shells it uses on the battlefield.
At this foreign ministers' meeting, NATO member states also began discussions on long-term military assistance to Ukraine, but they are now under pressure to respond to the support Ukraine needs now.
