NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday called for a “significant increase” in military aid for Kyiv.
“This is a pivotal moment in the war and the need for a significant increase in support for Ukraine,” the NATO chief told Reuters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Stoltenberg claimed that more weapons to Ukraine would make a negotiated solution more likely. “If we want a negotiated peaceful solution tomorrow we need to provide more weapons today,” he said.
Stoltenberg made a similar claim a few weeks ago when he said the “quickest path to peace” is through pouring more weapons into Ukraine. But as things stand, there’s no indication peace talks will happen soon, and the Western support emboldens Ukraine to make unrealistic demands, such as calling for war crimes tribunals for Russia before negotiations can happen.
For their part, Russia maintains that any negotiated solution must recognize the territory it has annexed as part of the Russian Federation. With the two sides so far apart, there’s no end to the fighting in sight.
The NATO chief’s latest comments come ahead of a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which consists of military officials from about 50 countries. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd will chair the meeting, and announcements for new military aid for Kyiv are expected.
Stoltenberg also said Wednesday that NATO countries are in consultations on sending more tanks to Ukraine. All eyes are on Berlin in that regard, as Poland and Finland are ready to provide Kyiv with their German-made Leopard 2 tanks, but the delivery needs to be signed off by Germany.
Sending more tanks would represent another major escalation in aid for Kyiv as the US and NATO seem less and less concerned about the risk of provoking Moscow, which has made it clear it views the war in Ukraine as a fight against the Western powers.
Why bother now? The Russians are about to shut this NATO instigated party down.
It depends on whether Putin is Schwab’s buddy or not …
Putin has good judgement, he picked good advisers Schwab could not cut it with Putin.
You made me laugh out loud! Though, I should add that the situation seems very precarious. I am also very concerned about us possibly becoming embroiled in a nuclear conflict. WWIII might be on the menu.
We all are well on our way to the Fourth Reich, err, I mean the Great Reset, err I mean the Great Narrative, d*mn it!
the sooner the better.
“Hurry up!!! I need more — well, everything! $$$ ammo planes bombs foreign fighters!!” the cry from the bottomless pit. The Sowers of Discord were continuously dismembered alive in Dante’s illuminating Inferno. We know who belongs there.

NATO Chief Calls for ‘Significant Increase’ in Military Aid for Ukraine Stoltenberg says NATO allies are holding consultations on sending more tanks”
History will record that NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg was the most evil warmonger in the history of Europe.
And please, stop putting the word General next to this creeps name.
He never was a military man and is the furthermost thing from a real military General.
To save the world the good Lord should let it rain brains in Ramstein tomorrow if not, he/she could drop a few conventional bombs on them in Ramstein, it takes several bombs because the AB is really big.
NATO Chief Calls for ‘Significant Escalation’ in a war against Russia
“If we want a negotiated peaceful solution tomorrow we need to provide more weapons today.”
Wait … what if we want a peaceful solution today and don’t want to wait until tens of thousands more die?
Is that for real, do they really say such nonsense? It is not a one time thing, every time he opens his mouth it is such BS.
Zelensky is losing it too, he does not know if Putin is still living. That is how people in Asylums talk, Klaus Schwab must really be demented being in the leadership with all the other real demented criminals. Can they get more crazy? Yes look at the journalistic MSM ZEROS in Davos.
I thought Ukraine was winning the war. Every day I check my e-mail at Yahoo, the headlines tell me so. Shouldn’t they already be in position for a “negotiated peaceful solution”?
Are they really that insane or just greedy or both. It is incomprehensible that our leaders are such trash. There is not a single one deserving our respect, not one. greed and insanity is nothing new, but so extreme? A child has more common sense than our senile president.
They are like the gun fetishists insisting that only more guns will stop the problem of too many guns. No matter how many times they are proven wrong, more guns is the solution for too many guns.
according to one of the comments, this gun fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon…for twelve seconds
