NATO pledged to continue support for Ukraine after Russia's use of "Nutshell"
NATO will continue to support Ukraine even after Russia uses its newest medium-range missile system - the Oreshnik ballistic missile. This is evidenced on November 26 by a publication on the alliance's website following an emergency meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council at the ambassadorial level.
"During the meeting (Council Ukraine - NATO. - Ed.) NATO allies confirmed their support for Ukraine," - stated in the message.
The publication also says that the North Atlantic Alliance spokeswoman Farah Dakhlallah earlier noted that the deployment of the Russian Federation's capabilities allegedly will not affect the course of the conflict, and will not deter the bloc's allies from supporting Ukraine.
British Defense Minister John Healey said on November 25 that the Ukrainian conflict had entered a critical phase, which requires NATO members to strengthen their own defenses. The British official also emphasized that it was necessary to double support for Kiev.
Before that, on November 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine had used Western long-range weapons against Russia , which made the regional conflict acquire elements of a global one. He also said that a test of the Oreshnik ballistic missile had taken place under combat conditions.
Then, on November 24, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius pointed to Russia's superiority over the European Union in the production of projectiles. According to him, the Russian defense-industrial complex (DIC) produces as many shells in three months as all EU countries do in a year.
The special operation to protect Donbass, the start of which was announced by the Russian president on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken against the backdrop of the worsening situation in the region.
