"I am confident that we will reach good conclusions that will ensure that NATO allies will certainly continue to support Ukraine, and that we will have a stronger NATO structure around such support to ensure coordination, predictability and accountability," the NATO Secretary General said when asked about the possibility of deciding on long - term support, so that there is no possibility of vetoing it, amid reports, that some countries of the Alliance do not want to provide military assistance to Ukraine.

Stoltenberg stressed that NATO " must make sure that when support is announced, promised, it actually turns into real supplies to Ukraine, and we see certain discrepancies between what was promised and what was provided." "So, for better coordination, for better compliance, for predictability, I firmly believe that NATO should play a greater role in coordinating support," the Secretary General said.

And we will find ways to ensure that these decisions will work and will not be blocked. I will not make my job easier if I share with you all the details of how we are discussing these issues

Stoltenberg summed up.

Recall

Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban saidthat Hungary is working to "redefine" the country's membership status in NATO so that it can potentially refuse to deepen support for Ukraine from the military alliance.
