Stoltenberg said that the delay in U.S. military aid to Ukraine has real consequences at the front, although it is not too late.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that the delay of the military aid package for Ukraine by the US Congress had real consequences, although it was not too late. This was reported by UNN with reference to MSNBC.

Details

In an interview with MSNBC, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the delay by the US House of Representatives in approving a military aid package for Ukraine had real consequences for the frontline in Ukraine, but was not too late.

Stoltenberg also noted that the Russians had much more ammunition, while Ukraine was forced to ration its ammunition. At the same time, according to the NATO representative, Ukrainians demonstrated great skill in defending their country.

The official also commented on plans for a NATO combat presence in Ukraine, saying that North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries have the right to help Ukraine on a bilateral basis, and this, according to Stoltenberg, does not make NATO a party to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

But, of course, several NATO allies have men and women in uniform in their embassies giving advice

- added the NATO Secretary General.

Recall

The U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of a bill to provide $60 billion in defense aid to Ukraine, a decision supported by 310 congressmen.

US military aid will allow Ukraine to plan large-scale operations and counteroffensives, boosting morale and the prospects for success in the fight against Russia, Ivan Tymochko, a soldier and chairman of the Land Forces Reserves Council, said in a telethon.
