NATO allies to send weapons to Kyiv for as long as needed

NATO allies will continue to supply Ukraine with weapons so it can defend itself against Russia for as long as it takes, he said today from Madrid to German Chancellor Olaf Solz.

& # 8220; It's good that the countries here, like many others, are helping Ukraine to defend itself providing financial means, humanitarian aid, but also providing the weapons that Ukraine urgently needs & # 8221 ;, Solz said as he approached the talks on the second day of the Atlantic Alliance summit in the Spanish capital.
