STOLTENBERG: ‘ALLIES HAVE NOT DELIVERED’: During an unannounced visit to Kyiv on Monday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg did everything short of making a formal apology for the failure of allies to follow through on promised aid that left Ukraine outgunned and at the mercy of Russia over the past six months of the war.

“NATO allies have not delivered what they promised. The United States spent months not agreeing on a package for Ukraine, and European allies have not delivered the amount of ammunition they promised. And this has had serious consequences on the battlefield,” Stoltenberg said, standing next to President Volodymyr Zelensky on a bright sunny day in the Ukrainian capital.
