Former NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg shared in a new interview that one of his regrets was not ensuring Ukraine was stocked with weapons ahead of Russia's invasion nearly three years ago.

"If there's anything I in a way regret and see much more clearly now is that we should have provided Ukraine with much more military support much earlier," Stoltenberg told the Financial Times in an interview published Friday, just days after he left the post. "I think we all have to admit, we should have given them more weapons pre-invasion."

Stoltenberg suggested that an earlier stockpile could have lessened the blow Ukraine has taken since Russia launched its operation in February 2022.

"Sending lethal weapons was a big discussion. Most allies were against that, pre-invasion . . . they were very afraid of the consequences," he told the outlet. "I'm proud of what we have done, but it would have been a great advantage if it started earlier. It maybe could even have prevented the invasion, or at least made it much harder for [Russia] to do what they've done."
