“It must be understood that [Krievijas] of the president [Vladimira] In case of Putin’s victory, tragedy awaits Ukraine. But it will also be dangerous for us. Therefore, it is in our own interest that Ukraine endures,” Stoltenberg said.
Speaking about the situation at the front, Stoltenberg admitted that there has been no significant progress in recent months.
True, this does not mean that the Ukrainian army did not achieve any success during the counterattack, he emphasized.
Due to insufficient support from the West, the situation in Ukraine may worsen, the NATO Secretary General admitted.
“We have to be prepared for bad news. Wars develop in stages. We have to support Ukraine in good times and bad,” he said, stressing that ammunition production is crucial.
Stoltenberg did not answer the journalist’s question about how the Ukrainian army should act in this situation.
He referred this “complex operational decision-making” to Kyiv and Ukraine’s military leadership.
“I believe that one of the problems we have to deal with is the fragmentation of the European defense industry,” Stoltenberg said.
