United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has said Ukraine has urgent requirements in terms of more military aid, as he also reaffirmed that the United States and NATO allies in general were there to support Ukraine over the long haul.
With the first anniversary of the invasion approaching, Russia has intensified operations across a broad area of southern and eastern Ukraine and a big new offensive has been widely anticipated.
Before the NATO meeting, the alliance’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Western countries needed to boost ammunition supplies to Kyiv.
