Prague

The head of Romanian diplomacy, Luminiţa Odobescu, pleaded, on Friday, at the NATO foreign ministers’ meeting in Prague, for the continuation of substantial support for Ukraine.

“Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Allies have provided approximately EUR 40 billion worth of military support to Ukraine each year. We must maintain at least this level of support each year, for as long as necessary. I have also proposed that Allies should share this burden equitably,” NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, said at the end of the meeting.

In Prague, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed on Friday that U.S. President Joe Biden approved Ukraine using U.S. weapons to strike targets inside Russia that were attacking the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, after Kyiv sought authorization from Washington in recent weeks, Reuters reports.
