Day two of a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels gets underway on Friday with the military alliance's support of Ukraine top of the agenda among defense ministers, APA reports citing DW.
Ahead of the second day of talks, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the plan was to "address how to further strengthen our deterrence on defense. Ministers will discuss a new defense industrial pledge to scale up military production and solidify long-term cooperation with our industry."
NATO countries have previously supported Ukraine through an informal, US-led group called the Ukraine Defense Contact Group. There may now, however, be a shift toward handing over that responsibility to the formal structures of NATO.
