Stoltenberg & US' Sullivan Reiterate Need For Ukraine Funding

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan have been speaking at a presser in Brussels. Stoltenberg claims that it is "Vital that the US Congress agrees on continued support for Ukraine in the near future". Sullivan says that the Biden administration is "Focused on Plan A to get Ukraine aid through Congress", claiming that the administration is "not focusing on a Plan B".

• The comments regarding funding for Ukraine come amid a chaotic 24 hours in the US Congress in which the prospect of a major supplemental funding package that included aid to Ukraine collapsed amid partisan and intra-party squabbling.
• Stoltenberg: "We do not see any imminent threat against any NATO ally." These comments come after Poland scrambled jetsovernight after a Russian missile that was fired as part of a barrage against Ukraine appeared to be heading towards the Polish border. The missile soon changed course and did not enter Polish airspace.
