The important thing now is that Ukraine has enough ammunition to push out the Russian invaders, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at a press conference after the two-day meeting of the defense ministers of the alliance in Brussels, BTA reported.

All about the topic:

Russian invasion of Ukraine 9354

Stoltenberg added that the allies had discussed the possibilities of increasing the production of ammunition because of the huge needs of the Ukrainian troops.

According to him, Kiev can turn the tide of the war with the help provided by the countries of the pact.

We see no signs that Russia is preparing for peace, the Secretary General added.

According to him, NATO countries are reviewing their stockpile targets and military planning guidelines.

Stoltenberg added that two percent of GDP should be a minimum, not a "ceiling" for defense spending in the alliance.

He announced that he will travel to Turkey tomorrow, where one of the questions he will ask will be about Ankara's ratification of Finland and Sweden's membership in NATO.

I have been calling for months for Turkey to ratify both the membership protocols of Sweden and Finland.

This is Ankara's decision.

Hungary and Turkey are the only ones that have not yet ratified the protocols, noted Stoltenberg.
