After the errant missile strike incident, NATO’s main priority remains the provision of air defense systems to Ukraine, said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. The secretary general also said that the missile that fell on Poland’s territory was probably fired by Ukrainian air defense forces while repelling Russian attacks. “We want to help Ukraine realize the right to self-defense enshrined in the UN Charter. Of course, Ukraine has the right to defend itself against Russia’s illegal aggressive war. And one of the top priorities is to give Ukraine more air defense systems,” Stoltenberg said. He noted that after the missiles fell in Poland, the alliance has not changed its assessment of Russia’s threat to the NATO allies.
