Bild exposes secret dinner: German foreign minister and NATO chief discuss Ukraine
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock had a secret dinner with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at a restaurant in one of Berlin's five-star hotels.
Bild says Baerbock and Stoltenberg were spotted as they exited the five-star hotel surrounded by seven security service officers.
According to Bild, Baerbock and Stoltenberg spent nearly three hours at the Telegraphenamt hotel restaurant.
Eyewitnesses reported that the German minister and the NATO Secretary General dined on fish and were engaged in a lively discussion.
As Bild later learned, Stoltenberg had requested a meeting with Baerbock to discuss European security and further assistance to Ukraine.
On 25 April, during a speech at an event in Berlin, Stoltenberg urged allies to accelerate military support for Ukraine, emphasising that it still has a chance to win the full-scale war against Russia.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says the Alliance's member states should prioritise greater military assistance to Ukraine over meeting their own defence spending targets.
