NATO’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg announced that member countries of the alliance have entered into agreements for the procurement of new military supplies for Kyiv, amounting to $10 billion.
The announcement came as Stoltenberg arrived at a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels, where he highlighted the necessity of ramping up production to aid Ukraine.
He mentioned that the alliance had successfully negotiated and finalized contracts for manufacturing weapons and ammunition worth $10 billion.
This development follows reports by the German newspaper Handelsblatt, which suggested that NATO is seeking to coordinate the delivery of arms to Ukraine.
This move is partly motivated by concerns over potential shifts in political power in Washington that could lead to a discontinuation of support for Kyiv.
Stoltenberg welcomed the European Union’s pledge of aid to Ukraine and called on the US Congress to follow suit. “This is not charity,” he said. “It is an investment in our own security.”
