Provision of peace and freedom: NATO countries need a huge amount of weapons - Stoltenberg

NATO Secretary General called for the immediate creation of huge arms reserves and strengthening the military industry in the North Atlantic Alliance. The countries of the North Atlantic Alliance need a huge stock of weapons to ensure peace and freedom. NATO also requires production facilities for the rapid production of the necessary weapons and ammunition. This statement was made by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on October 25.

Speaking at the forum of representatives of the Western Military Industry in Stockholm, Secretary General drew attention to the need for a large -scale military industry for NATO countries. "We need either huge stocks of weapons or huge free production facilities for fast production and purchase. NATO powerful military industry is needed to ensure peace and freedom," Stoltenberg said.

At the same time, the Secretary General demanded from the manufacturers of weapons to "show responsibility" and not to raise prices. "The challenge is that when we increase demand, we want more supplies rather than higher prices," NATO Secretary General. It should be noted that on October 24, the head of the NATO Military Committee Admiral Rob Bauer stated that the price of one shell of 155 mm during the fighting in Ukraine rose from 2000 to 8000 euros during the fighting.
