Kiev: Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary-General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), has arrived in Ukraine for the first time since Russia’s invasion last year. A NATO official gave this information on Thursday. The official, who requested anonymity, said the NATO secretary general is in Ukraine. We will provide more information as soon as possible. Photos of Stoltenberg have been published in the local media, in which he is seen paying tribute to the martyred soldiers of Ukraine in Kiev’s St. Michael’s Square. Apart from the symbolic significance, the exact purpose of Stoltenberg’s visit was not immediately clear.
Ukraine is not a member of NATO. This organization of 31 countries only supplies generators, medical equipment, military uniforms or other goods to the Ukrainian government. Stoltenberg has been a vocal voice on behalf of NATO during the war and has been instrumental in rallying the 31 member states’ support for Ukraine. Stoltenberg had been to Ukraine before the war started, but this is his first visit since the war. His visit reflects NATO’s long-standing commitment to defending the independence of Ukraine. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin suffered a major setback earlier this month when Finland joined NATO. Russia wants to keep the countries around it away from NATO. For this reason, he attacked his neighboring country Ukraine.
