Russia-Ukraine war live: Nato ministers discuss stepping up

Jens Stoltenberg is meeting Nato ministers for talks in Prague today

Poland is currently organising its 45th package of aid for Ukraine, the country’s foreign minister said today, Reuters reported.

“Poland has sent 44 packages of aid to Ukraine, we are now organising our 45th… we think we’ve contributed in military assistance alone around 4 billion euros,” Radek Sikorski told reporters in Prague.

Allies have provided unprecedented support to Ukraine. Just last week Belgium announced 30 more F-16s and Spain and Sweden announced new packages of more than one billion euros each for air defence, for artillery and for other important equipment for Ukraine. These and other announcements come on top of the US decision of 61 billion extra US dollars for Ukraine.

But we will address how to make sure we sustain and step up our support for Ukraine and I have proposed that NATO should play a bigger role in the coordination and supply of security assistance and training for Ukraine.
