ah,

i'm told there's a technical problem that says that hindering our ability to hear what is being said here and indeed seeing what is being said in bucharest by the nicer secretary general installed back says we fix it will take you to that press conference g 7 foreign minister or meeting just now to secure commitments is to ukraine. nate, also practical and political support will continue now and for the longer term. and i look forward to discussing support for ukraine's right to choose his own pulse. we recognize and respect ukraine's aspirations for membership. however, our focus now is on providing immediate support as ukraine defend itself

against russian aggression. and we will also work even more closely with our older partners. so i look forward to meeting tomorrow with bozeman and had savannah, georgia, and i'm old. don't find, let, let me welcome nor was offer to host an informal meeting of need to 40 ministers next year in norway without. i'm ready to take your questions and start with the b . c 2nd brother in law. rather than that. and you set out that you're going to supply help with ukraine's energy infrastructure, but you mentioned nothing about weapons specifically, ukraine's foreign minister says he wants

a defense system found you provide some but he mentioned specifically patriot defense systems, native allies, patriot systems in other countries may nato member countries, they haven't given one to ukraine. do you think it's time the bat is addressed and that can you, you know, what is the reason you can't give or nato allies can't give ukraine patriot defense systems, which he was the 1st of all, one of the main reasons it is important to have a minister collab hair is that then we can sit down as we'll do later tonight, also the bilateral with him earlier today to address and to discuss the urgent needs and the different concrete requirements all start, the ukraine is presenting to nato allies on this dialogue has actually enabled those to increase the support from nathan allies to unprecedented levels. both the

military support, the types of weapons and also the amount of support on the and therefore it is important that we continue to meet and to go through the concrete list. so we do this in nathan also do that in the and what to call the online format that we meet regularly. nato allies, partners led by united states. this is part about providing new systems like, for instance, of the patriots. and that is an ongoing discussion about that now, but it's also very much about ensuring that the system so all of the deliver are functioning, are effective. and to do so, we need to ensure that we provide spare parts, enable them to do maint maintenance of the systems. and also, i'm addition of because all of the huge challenges we face now is that some will also the advanced systems like the ne sums that nate wallace had provided already advanced a natal standard elephant systems or the german artist t,

which are advanced from systems that we don't only prove me ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
