NATO is ready to give Ukraine planes and speed up weapon delivery.
For the first time, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that Ukraine can count on the Alliance’s help in aviation if it uses planes for defense. “NATO allies will not intervene in the war that Russia has unleashed against Ukraine, but the Alliance can provide Ukraine with modern combat aircraft for self-defense”, Stoltenberg said. He clarified that there are ongoing discussions within the Alliance about what types of military systems and aircraft to transfer. The NATO Secretary General expects these issues to be considered at the meeting in Brussels. He added that NATO already sees the beginning of a new Russian offensive. And Russia compensates for its lack of quality with an excess of quantity. And this emphasizes how important it is for the West to supply Ukraine with more weapons as soon as possible.
