NATO chief: alliance members do not provide Ukraine with sufficient ammunition

Jens Stoltenberg presented NATO’s annual report for 2023 at a press conference in Brussels on Thursday, claiming that NATO members were not sending enough ammunition to Kyiv.

“NATO allies are not providing Ukraine with enough ammunition and that has consequences on the battlefield every day. The fact that the Russians are able to outgun the Ukrainians every day, of course, is a huge challenge, it is one of the reasons why the Russians have been able to make some advances on the battlefield over the last weeks and months.”

Stoltenberg stated that the Ukrainians were running out of “ammunition,” not “courage.” He also called on allies “to step up and provide more ammunition to Ukraine.”

Both the US, Canada, and Europe has to do more. This is a question of political will to take the decisions and to prioritise support for Ukraine.
