- On Wednesday (12 June 2024) Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg outlined the priorities for the meeting of NATO Defence Ministers on Thursday and Friday (13 and 14 June 2024).
At a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council, “Allies will discuss how to ensure predictable support to Ukraine for the long haul,” Mr Stoltenberg said. Ministers are expected to approve a plan for NATO to lead the coordination of security assistance and training, “a key element for our package for Ukraine at the Washington Summit, along with a long-term financial commitment,” he added. Allies have provided 40 billion euros in military support to Ukraine each year. “We must maintain this level of support as a minimum, and for as long as it takes, to hasten the conclusion in Moscow that Russia cannot wait us out,” Mr Stoltenberg said.
Ministers will also address measures to continue strengthening NATO’s deterrence and defence. “Defence spending is on an upward trajectory across the Alliance,” the Secretary General highlighted. At the ministerial, Allies will make progress on a new Defence Industrial Pledge for leaders to approve in Washington to scale up military production and send a signal of long-term demand to industry. Ministers will also take decisions to ensure the required capabilities for NATO’s new defence plans, and they will discuss Russia’s intensifying campaign of hostile acts across NATO countries. The ministerial also includes a meeting of the Nuclear Planning Group, where Allies will discuss the ongoing adaptation of NATO’s nuclear capabilities.
Acknowledging the challenging security environment, Mr Stoltenberg reiterated NATO’s commitment to preserve peace, prevent coercion, and deter aggression. “We will bolster our support to Ukraine, we will strengthen our defences, and we will send a strong message of deterrence to our adversaries,” he concluded.
🗣 | NATO Secretary General:
Good evening.
Over the next two days, the NATO Defence Ministers from across the Alliance will gather here to prepare for the NATO Summit in Washington.
We will convene a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council.
And Allies will discuss how to ensure predictable support to Ukraine for the long haul.
We come together at a critical time for Ukraine and our own security.
As we have seen in recent months, delays in the provision of military aid to Ukraine have had consequences on the battlefield.
But once again Allies are stepping up their support.
I welcome the 60-billion-dollar package by the United States,
And significant commitments by other Allies.
In recent weeks, Sweden, Spain and Belgium have each pledged more than 1 billion euros in new support,
Including 30 F-16 jets and early warning airplanes.
Following Germany’s offer of an additional Patriot battery,
Italy has pledged another SAMP/T.
And I expect more to be announced in the coming days and weeks.
At this meeting, I expect that Ministers will approve a plan for NATO to lead the coordination of security assistance and training to Ukraine.
This is a key element for our package for Ukraine at the Washington Summit, along with a long-term financial commitment.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Allies have provided 40 billion euros in military support to Ukraine each year.
We must maintain this level of support as a minimum, and for as long as it takes.
To hasten the conclusion in Moscow, that Russia cannot wait us out.
We are also looking at our own deterrence and defence, as we should.
Since 2014, NATO has implemented the largest reinforcement of our collective defence in a generation.
We have put in place the most comprehensive defence plans since the end of the Cold War.
And defence spending is on an upward trajectory across the Alliance.
At this Ministerial, we will make progress on a new Defence Industrial Pledge,
for leaders to approve at the Summit in Washington.
This will enable us to scale up military production.
And send a signal of long-term demand to industry.
In addition, we will take decisions to ensure that we have the capabilities to meet the requirements of our own new defence plans.
Ministers will also discuss Russia’s intensifying campaign of hostile acts across NATO countries.
The hallmarks of which are sabotage, acts of violence, cyber-attacks and disinformation.

#NATO #OTAN #DefMin
It’s good that there are talks, but actions are more important.
Any plans that could and do lead to nuclear war need to stop. The only way to dig this weed, if you like, out of the mind is to find new ways to manage our relationships.
This morning the guy was in Hungary. And now he already is holding a press conference in Washington. 0_o
He is a strange man, at first he says that every country has the right to defend itself. But he also said that the United States is deploying its nuclear missiles in Europe. The question is why? and how should Russia react to this? Does Russia not have the right to defend itself? Cold War v2.0
I listened twice to answer questions about these steps to coordinate help to build a future force and training efforts for deterrence in Ukraine.
Steadfast 😊. Great work guys. Thanks 👍
Sounds like the west is finally waking up. 👍🏼
not Germany....sadly.....
Naaah. They'll push the snooze button a few more times...
Damn time.
@@MakeSomeNoiseAgencyPlaylists No worries! I'm sure France, second largest economy in the EU, will be out carping and posturing again any minute now. That counts as "doing something" doesn't it? France thinks so.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯👍😘🙌
The yanks didn't promise 60 b. They promised 23 b with the rest to be spent on their own military industrial complex ... ie its own private companies.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO & ITS INSANELY INFORMATIVE NEWS & CONTENT, and support for Ukraine & advancing & modernizing our deterrence & defense capabilities against Russia & his gang, China, Iran, and North Korea. Thank you NATO NEWS.
Awesome!
❌🇬🇺 Let's hope that ORBAN will NOT expect NATO to help HUNGARY if Hungary is ATTACKED. You SOW WHAT YOU PLANTED HUNGARY 🇭🇺❌ ⬛
Good Evening my friend ❤
State ✨❤
Good morning
Hungary should be kick out of NATO
F
❤❤❤ Great NATO Secretary General.
Y all stay away from north Africa 🌍
❤Ukrainian ❤
Thank you Secretary General Stoltenberg. 💙💛💕❤️🇨🇦
Just watch out for Orban. He is the most dangerous outsider.
When hungary and lithuania are invaded by russia, their leader and people will be happy. They think they are much better with the russians. Let them be, they have the right for self determination.
Eh eh eh the whole time.
Scratching his neck and fidgeting 😂
Mr. Secretary go and sit down. NATO has lost the game.
Man, if words were weapons no one would ever challenge Europe.
Keep failing on their deliveries though don't they....
2% GDP is a joke, and those not meeting the minimum need to up their game and stop being carried. The producers need contracts without them a pledge means nothing, and production needs ramping up massively - now!
Jens Stoltenberg is very good at his job hope he say there until the Ukraine war is over
Wish America had leaders like this man.
Thankful for Germany government.
At last we see total committment to gaining victory for Ukraine. There is no turning back now.
Only total defeat.
Can nato please just get Bosnia and Georgia in the alliance
