NATO agrees to supply advanced heavy weapons to Ukraine

It was reported on April 8, at the conclusion of the NATO meeting in Brussels that NATO states have agreed to supply new advanced weapons to Ukraine.

Ukraine’s foreign minister, Kuleba, requested during the meeting for heavy weaponry, including warplanes, missiles, armored vehicles, long-range air defense systems, and other equipment. After the meeting, U.K. Foreign Secretary Truss said Member Nations have approved arming Ukraine by supplying new heavy equipment that will upgrade its weapons from Soviet-era systems to modern NATO-made equipment, reinforcing its defenses to counter Russian forces.

Secretary of State Blinken says the U.S. and 30 other nations won’t let anything stand in the way of getting Ukrainians what they need.
