NATO looking to boost Kyiv, its own defenses

TESTED BY RUSSIA

- 

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday he expected more NATO countries to buy American arms for Ukraine, as the alliance sought to bolster Kyiv and its own ability to counter Russia.

North Atlantic Treaty Organization ministers were meeting in Brussels after a series of air incursions fed fears that Moscow is testing the West in a grey zone between war and peace.

"You get peace when you are strong, not when you use strong words or wag your finger, you get it when you have strong and real capabilities that adversaries respect," Hegseth told reporters.
