NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg believes that a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine will be long.
As NATO’s Secretary General explained, “most wars last longer than was expected when they started,” and therefore the alliance must prepare for a prolonged war in Ukraine, reports pravda.com.ua.
“We all seek a quick peace. At the same time, we must understand: if Zelensky and the Ukrainians stop fighting, their country will cease to exist. If President Putin and Russia lay down their arms, we will have peace,” he added.
Stoltenberg emphasized that after the end of the war, Ukraine will have to receive security guarantees so that Russian aggression against it does not repeat itself.
“The peace agreement must not serve as a respite for Russia to attack again. We can no longer allow Russia to threaten security in Europe. There is no doubt that Ukraine will eventually be in NATO,” said the Secretary General.
