NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the battles for Soledar and Bakhmut show how important it is to strengthen military support for Ukraine in the war against Russia, reports the European Pravda.
“In recent days, we have seen fierce fighting around Bakhmut and Soledar in eastern Ukraine. This shows once again the bravery of Ukrainian forces as they fight to defend their homeland. It also shows how vital it is that we step up our support, our military support to Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said.
He welcomed the recent announcements by the United States, France and Germany that they will soon provide infantry fighting vehicles and light tanks to Ukraine, as well as the unprecedented support of all NATO Allies and EU member states.
“Our support makes a real difference on the ground. And at this key juncture of the war, we must do even more, even faster,” Stoltenberg said.
Recently, the Pentagon stated that the Armed Forces would receive Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in a few weeks. In particular, these vehicles are needed for the offensive.
