"Since then, NATO Allies have provided unprecedented support for Ukraine. Around 120 billion dollars in military, humanitarian and financial assistance," he said in a joint press conference with the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on February 8, according to NATO press service.

Stoltenberg added that as the biggest Ally, the US is playing an indispensable role in supporting Ukraine.
