NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana emphasizes that the immediate support for the Ukrainian people, who are defending themselves against the Russian aggression, must be fully prepared and supported, Agerpres reports.

„Right now, the most important thing is immediate support for the Ukrainian people, who are defending themselves against the Russian aggression, and we need to make sure that they are fully prepared and supported,” he wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.

Geoana recalls that the first day of the NATO Ministerial in Bucharest was dedicated to discussions about unity within the Alliance and the continuation of support for Ukraine.

„Together with our allies, we made additional commitments to NATO’s Comprehensive Assistance Package for Ukraine, which will finance non-lethal support, including fuel and generators. Also yesterday [November 29, ed.n.], the G7 Foreign Ministerial Meeting was held, where we discussed the commitments regarding the emergency infrastructure coordination mechanism to help Ukraine,” the NATO Deputy Secretary General added.
