NATO Steps Up: More Air Defenses in the Works for Ukraine, Stoltenberg Confirms

NATO is intensifying efforts to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities amid ongoing Russian attacks, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced on Thursday. He emphasized that delays in providing such assistance undermined Kyiv’s ability to defend itself effectively.

Stoltenberg revealed that NATO had assessed available air defense systems within its member states, focusing on the Patriot systems. Efforts are underway to coordinate the redeployment of these systems to Ukraine, with discussions ongoing with specific allied countries. The deployment of Patriot batteries is crucial, as they represent the most advanced defense systems available to the alliance.

In addition to the Patriots, Stoltenberg mentioned the possibility of supplying other defense systems to Ukraine, including the NASALS surface-to-air missile system. He stressed that delays in delivering air defense systems would result in more Russian missiles hitting targets in Ukraine and allow Russia to advance further along the front line.

Highlighting NATO’s commitment to supporting Ukraine, Stoltenberg announced an upcoming meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council, scheduled for Friday, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is expected to participate virtually. Stoltenberg expressed optimism about NATO allies’ determination to stand by Ukraine during this challenging time.

Moreover, he mentioned positive developments regarding potential aid for Ukraine from the U.S. Congress, indicating that a significant aid package worth $60.84 billion might soon be unlocked. This financial assistance would support Ukraine’s defense efforts and reinforce international solidarity with the country in its conflict against Russian aggression.
