NATO secretary general says alliance must prepare for ‘long haul’ in Ukraine

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says the alliance needs to reinvigorate its military capacity in order to support Ukraine for the “long haul.”

In an interview Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, Stoltenberg said the alliance had depleted much of its own supplies of weapons and ammunition and would need to work with industry to “ramp up production” in order to continue its support of Ukraine.

He also told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton that alliance states needed to be ready to pay some price, in the form of higher energy costs and other economic fallout, in order to bolster Ukraine’s defence.
