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.

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.
