NATO's chief chides alliance countries for not being quicker to help Ukraine against Russia
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg expressed concern over delays in NATO countries delivering promised military aid to Ukraine, allowing Russia to gain ground in the ongoing conflict. Stoltenberg cited shortcomings in supplying weapons, ammunition, and air defense systems, contributing to Ukraine's tactical retreat from several villages in the eastern region. Despite Western pledges of support, including vital U.S. military assistance delayed due to political disputes, and ongoing efforts to bolster Ukraine's military capabilities, Russia's superior resources and support from other nations pose significant challenges.
