The West has outfitted Ukraine with billions of dollars in security assistance to fight Russia.
But it needs to give Ukraine the weapons it needs to actually win the war, NATO members say.
The three Baltic states said Moscow must be left unable to pose a threat in the future.

The West should send Ukraine the kind of weapons it needs to inflict a lasting, strategic defeat on Russia, NATO countries on the front lines of the military alliance said Tuesday.
