West needs to send Ukraine more heavy weapons as it battles Russia’s brutal invasion. Such a statement made NATO Secretary General.

“Ukraine should have more heavy weapons. And NATO Allies and partners have provided heavy weapons for a long time, but they are also stepping up. There will be a meeting tomorrow at the NATO headquarters of the Contact group for support to Ukraine. This is a format that was established at Rammstein Base a couple of months ago and it meets regularly to coordinate efforts by NATO Allies and partners to provide different types of weapons, of military equipment, including heavy weapons to UA. Because they absolutely depend on that to be able to stand up against the brutal Russian invasion.

Let me add that NATO Allies have supported Ukraine for many years. Since 2014 NATO Allies have trained and equipped tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and officers, who are now on the frontline fighting the brutal invasion of President Putin and they make a huge difference.

But they need to be prepped for the long haul, as there is no way to predict how and when this war will end. So they need to be ready to continue for a long time and we will continue to provide support. And that will be addressed tomorrow in Brussels”, - said Jens Stoltenberg.
