BELFAST — “I know serious delays in support have meant serious consequences on the battlefield,” said Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General, as he made a surprise visit to Kyiv on April 29.
Calling out US political paralysis and European failures at “scale,” the NATO chief spoke in surprisingly candid terms about how Ukraine had been let down by its friends in recent months, leading to advances by invading Russian forces. Stoltenberg didn’t go as far as to personally apologize to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, standing beside him, for the frontline problems, but the moment was telling from the usually even-keeled NATO chief.
The good news for Ukraine supporters, however, is that while the alliance has been slow to deliver weapons in the last year, there is now a multi-pronged, if occasionally confusing effort underway to create a long-lasting pipeline for Kyiv’s aid.
This is what the countries involved are responsible for.
