KYIV. July 10 (Interfax) - NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has reiterated the need to end Russia's support to the self-proclaimed republics in Donbas.
NATO has said on multiple occasions that Russia should pull forces out of eastern Ukraine, stop supporting the armed groups operating in that area, and end any attempts to destabilize Ukraine by means of cyber attacks, which is an element of hybrid warfare, Stoltenberg said.
NATO would continue to support Ukraine, Stoltenberg said at a meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman in Kyiv on Monday.
NATO will not recognize the 'annexation' of Crimea, he added.
Groysman thanked NATO for its unwavering support for Ukraine.
Stoltenberg said earlier on Monday that NATO would supply Ukraine with equipment, which could help identify sources of cyber attacks.
