According to NATO Stoltenberg Secretary General, the Alliance should take steps to prevent the Armed Forces from preventing repetition of Russian aggression in the future. Since the beginning of a full -scale war in Ukraine, the North Atlantic Alliance has assisted the Armed Forces for more than $ 65 billion. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at a press conference in Brussels on April 3.

The head of the Alliance also noted that Ukraine will receive "as much as it will be needed". He stressed that NATO countries should not allow European security violations in the future. "We do not know when this war is over, but when it is over, we will need to take steps so that Ukraine can restrain future aggression and history is not repeated. We cannot allow Russia to continue undermine European security," Stoltenberg said.

It should be noted that according to official data of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, in Moscow plan to allocate about $ 63. 7 billion in 2023 in 2023.
