By KYIV. Nov 17 (Interfax-Ukraine) – NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg took part in a virtual meeting of the US-led Ukraine Defense Contact Group on Wednesday, where he stressed the need to provide Ukraine with more air defense systems and other assistance, including winter clothing, fuel and medical supplies.
According to the NATO website, the Secretary General said that yesterday’s wave of Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities, civilian infrastructure and people is a stark reminder of the brutality of Russia’s illegal war.

He welcomed that NATO Allies are continuing to step up with more military, financial and humanitarian support for Ukraine," according to the NATO website.
Stoltenberg also underlined ongoing work at NATO to replenish Allied stocks and speed up industrial production, including today’s Conference of National Armaments Directors at NATO Headquarters.
