NATO Secretary General - Doorstep statement at Defence Ministers Meeting, 13 JUN 2024

Doorstep statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg ahead of the meetings of NATO Ministers of Defence, 13 June 2024. 🗣 | NATO Secretary General: Good morning, Today and tomorrow NATO Defence Ministers will meet here at the NATO Headquarters to address a wide range of different important issues. First on Ukraine we’ll meet in the US led Contact Group for Ukraine, and later today also in the NATO-Ukraine Council with Defence Minister Umerov of Ukraine. We will address the urgent needs for more supplies of weapons, of air defence, of ammunition. And I welcome recent significant announcements by several Allies and I expect more Allies to announce even more support, because there is an urgent need to provide more security assistance to Ukraine. We will also address how to ensure that we have a more robust framework platform for our support to ensure also that we have a long-term commitment. And therefore, I expect that the NATO Ministers will agree a plan for a NATO security assistance and training for Ukraine. And we'll also discuss a long-term financial pledge that I expect Allied leaders will agree at the NATO Summit in July. Then we will address deterrence and defence. We have agreed new ambitious defence plans. Now we have to make sure that we have the forces, the capabilities, the readiness, to meet all the requirements in the defence plans. A part of that will also be of course to ensure that we're able to ramp up production. And the NATO Ministers will address a NATO Defence Industrial Pledge to ensure that we work together to increase production across North America and Europe across the whole Alliance. Then I expect also NATO Ministers to address the Russian campaign of hostile activities against NATO Allies. We have seen several examples of sabotage, of arson attempts, of cyber-attacks, of disinformation. And we will also then work on NATO response options, which I expect will include increased awareness, exchange of information, intelligence, step up the protection of critical infrastructure, including undersea infrastructure and cyber, and also tighter restrictions on Russian intelligence personnel across the Alliance. Then we will also meet in the Nuclear Planning Group of the Alliance, which is a regular meeting of this group. And with that I’m ready to take some questions. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel https://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News https://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO History https://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribe Connect with NATO online: Visit the Official NATO Homepage: https://bit.ly/NATOhomepage Receive NATO updates via email: https://bit.ly/NATOemails Find NATO on FACEBOOK: https://bit.ly/NATOfacebook Follow @NATO on X/TWITTER: https://bit.ly/NATOtwitter Follow NATO on Instagram: https://bit.ly/NATOinstagram Find NATO on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/NATOlinkedin Find NATO on Flickr: https://bit.ly/NATOflickr #NATO #OTAN #DefMin
