Doorstep statements by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg:

Foreign Minister Kuleba,
Dear Dmytro,
Welcome to NATO.
It is always a great pleasure to welcome you here.

What you do every day, standing up against the Russian aggression, is something that inspires the whole world.

And as you know, NATO Allies have provided support for Ukraine for many years.
Trained tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops.
And now Allies are providing equipment….

And at our meeting later on with the NATO Foreign Ministers, I am certain that we will address the need for more air defence systems, anti-tank weapons, lighter, but also heavier weapons, and many different types of support to Ukraine.

[W]e have since the invasion of Ukraine stepped up our military presence in eastern part of the Alliance.

So dear, Dmytro, please, welcome.
It is good to have you here.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba:

My agenda is very simple.
It only has three items on it.
It’s weapons, weapons, and weapons.
