U.S. Ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith says the Alliance will increase the production of ammunition both for Ukraine and for NATO member states that have donated a significant share of their weaponry to Ukraine, APA reports citing Ukrinform.
"We've seen cases where NATO allies have provided the Ukrainians with everything they can, bilaterally, which has created some shortages in their own stocks. So NATO has started what we call the Defense Production Action Plan, focusing on munitions shortages, both for Ukrainians and for some NATO members who provided aid to Ukraine, which led to their own shortages," Smith said.
The alliance is focusing on strengthening ties with the private sector to try to speed up defense production lines, she said.
The ambassador emphasized that the support for Ukraine by all 31 NATO allies is "ironclad and not fading away.”
According to the diplomat, none of the allies offered to reduce aid to Ukraine.
