MUNICH, Rabi'II 17, 1436, Feb 6, 2015, SPA -- NATO's top military commander, U.S. General Philip Breedlove, said on Friday the West should be ready to use "all tools in the tool bag" to help Ukraine fight pro-Russian separatists, though he did not specify if that should include arming Kiev, Reuters reported. The New York Times reported this week that Breedlove was among a number of U.S. officials who now favour providing defensive arms and equipment to Ukraine's military, which is struggling to hold back the rebels in eastern Ukraine. NATO, Washington and other Western powers say there is overwhelming proof Russian President Vladimir Putin is arming the insurgents and sending his own troops over the border - allegations dismissed by the Kremlin. -- SPA 20:32 LOCAL TIME 17:32 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
