NATO recently announced its intention to provide assistance to Ukraine and is expected to strengthen mechanisms for supporting Kyiv. According to Reuters, Jens Stoltenberg, the Secretary-General of NATO, stated that in order to effectively assist Ukraine, NATO needs greater institutional involvement, equal distribution of defense spending, and a substantial increase in military capabilities.

Stoltenberg’s visit to Kyiv is the organization’s largest effort to support the implementation of a new package of assistance from the United States Congress and a response to evidence that NATO’s European members have provided Ukraine with fewer resources than initially pledged. The Secretary-General identifies the failure to implement Ukraine’s armed forces and Russian influence as the main reasons behind the current problems. With Stoltenberg’s statement, NATO refuses to accept Ukraine’s accusations without fulfilling their responsibilities.
