WASHINGTON — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Wednesday during a visit to the Pentagon that U.S. aid is doing a great deal to help defend Ukraine, but he stressed Western allies must provide all the weapons Ukrainians need to beat back Russian forces in a war that’s closing in on its one-year anniversary.

Stoltenberg met with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday, and the two said they would evaluate the latest strategies in Ukraine and discuss how U.S. and NATO allies can best help the country.
