One year after Russia invaded Ukraine, NATO and its Allies are standing by their long-time partner.
Synopsis
When Russia launched its brutal, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, NATO Allies stood firm behind Ukraine. One year later, our support is stronger than ever, with Allied aid contributing to battlefield successes across Ukraine. While NATO has directly contributed non-lethal aid and humanitarian assistance, individual Allies have given the brave Ukrainian defenders the military hardware they need – weapons, ammunition, infantry fighting vehicles and tanks – to defend their homeland. As the Kremlin shows no sign of relenting in its senseless war, Allies will stand by Ukraine as long as necessary.
