"I proposed that at the summit in Washington, we agree on the great role of NATO in coordinating and ensuring the security of Ukraine. I hope that we will be able to agree on a permanent structure for organizing a stable supply of weapons to Ukraine," he said.

According to the Secretary General of NATO, the attack by the Russian forces on the Epicentr hypermarket in Kharkiv is an example of the fact that Russia will cynically continue to kill Ukrainian civilians if it is not stopped.
