Jens Stoltenberg, the outgoing Secretary General of NATO, stated that the alliance could have done more to provide military support to Ukraine before Russia’s invasion in 2022.

He noted that NATO’s hesitation to supply weapons requested by Kyiv was driven by concerns over escalating tensions with Russia.

Stoltenberg emphasized that while NATO now supplies military aid in response to the conflict, earlier intervention might have helped avert the war.

He acknowledged that a resolution to the conflict will ultimately require dialogue with Russia, but it must be grounded in Ukraine’s strength.
