"We're in a logistics race. Key capabilities such as ammunition, fuels and components must reach Ukraine before Russia takes the lead on the battlefield," said Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General. He has repeatedly stressed that Russia is sending thousands and thousands of more soldiers to the war, so he has hastened the States members of the Atlantic Alliance demanding that Ukraine quickly send the promised weapons. According to Stoltenberg, the priority is to transmit heavy artillery, tanks and/or defense against air strikes.

This week, however, NATO has also put on the table the possibility of sending warplanes to Ukraine, but it seems that the step will be taken later. The US-led Ukraine Defence Mediators Group therefore continues to reaffirm military aid to Ukraine. Moreover, at the beginning of the year, NATO accepted the largest shipment of arms to Ukraine.

Arms production and NATO capacity building

The Atlantic Alliance, for its part, is thinking and planning how to increase arms production and replacement capacity. "Ukraine's war is consuming a lot of ammunition and depleting allied reserves. The current rate of ammunition expenditure in Ukraine often exceeds the current rate of production. This presses our defensive industries," Stoltenberg said.

The expectation seems to be that the weapons they have requested will be received fairly long term and requests delayed. "For example, the expectation of a large-calibre ammunition has elapsed from twelve to 28 months," said NATO Secretary General.

Above all, NATO intends to make a number of moves that seem to strengthen its capabilities. For example, it intends to set up a coordinating document in Brussels to identify the "vulnerability" of the allies and "collaborate with the industry" in preventing possible attacks on "critical infrastructures". The Atlantic Alliance also aims to set up a satellite network to increase "intellectual and surveillance capabilities".
