NATO countries have delivered more than 98% of the combat vehicles promised to Ukraine amid its war with Russia, the military alliance's chief said Thursday, giving Kyiv a bigger punch as it appears poised to launch a counteroffensive.
Along with more than 1,550 armored vehicles, 230 tanks and other equipment, member nations have sent Ukraine “vast amounts of ammunition” and also trained and equipped more than nine new Ukrainian brigades, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said.“This will put Ukraine in a strong position to continue to retake occupied territory,” Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels.
Russia and Ukraine are far apart in their terms for peace, and Beijing - while looking to position itself as a global diplomatic power - has refused to criticize Moscow’s invasion. The Chinese government sees Russia as a diplomatic ally in opposing U.S. influence in global affairs, and Xi visited Moscow last month.
With battlefield positions in Ukraine largely static as a war of attrition took hold in recent months, Russian forces have kept up their bombardment of Ukrainian areas, often hitting apartment buildings and other civilian infrastructure.
