NATO allies vow to step up support for Ukraine

NATO member states renewed on Tuesday their support for Ukraine, promising to “further step up” political and practical aid and to maintain it “for as long as necessary.” At a summit in Bucharest, they also vowed to assist Ukraine in repairing energy infrastructure and protecting its citizens from Russian missile attacks.

“We also remain resolute in supporting Ukraine’s long-term efforts on its path of post-war reconstruction and reforms, so that Ukraine can secure its free and democratic future, modernize its defense sector, strengthen long-term interoperability and deter future aggression,” the allies stated.
