NATO allies vow to stay firm on arming Ukraine in its war with Russia
FirstpostThere are fears that a lack of adequate support from the West could end up forcing Ukraine to seek a compromise with Russian President Vladimir Putin from a position of weakness NATO members pledged Tuesday to stay the course on helping Ukraine fight Russia, despite doubts over US support and a bloody stalemate on the front line. “We will be strongly reaffirming our support for Ukraine as it continues to face Russia’s war of aggression,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he was “confident” the United States would keep on arming Ukraine. Latvian top diplomat Krisjanis Karins said Ukraine needs more “long-range missiles so that they can impede Russia’s logistic capabilities”.
