    A corresponding entry was published on the parliamentary website. Based on the birth rates at the end of the 1990s, a good 400,000 more men could be drafted to defend against the Russian attackers. In view of the difficult situation at the front, President Volodymyr Zelensky had already emphasized the need for additional supplies before the turn of the year.

    According to Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, NATO should have a significantly larger role in supporting Ukraine. As several diplomats confirmed to the

    German Press Agency

    , the Norwegian suggested, among other things, the establishment of a special NATO mission for the country attacked by Russia. If the member states agree, the core task of the “NATO Mission Ukraine” would be to coordinate arms deliveries and training activities for the Ukrainian armed forces. The USA is currently responsible for this coordination.

    Stoltenberg's idea was to make support for Ukraine less dependent on political developments in individual alliance states, it was said. This is particularly true given the possible return of Donald Trump to the White House as president. This raises the concern that the Republican could then significantly reduce or even stop US support for Ukraine. The foreign ministers of the NATO countries are therefore planning to press ahead with preparations for the next alliance summit at a meeting in Brussels this Wednesday.
