NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg made a surprise visit to Kyiv on Thursday, his first since the start of Russia’s invasion in February 2022. Ukraine’s “rightful place” is in NATO, he told reporters, adding that “over time, our support will help to make this possible.”
Stoltenberg’s trip, during which he met with Ukraine’s president, came a day before he’s scheduled to attend a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Ramstein, Germany, hosted by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley, chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff.
