The NATO must prepare for a long confrontation with Russia because Russian President Vladimir Putin shows no desire for peace, a year after war in Ukraineannounced on Thursday (16/2) the general secretary of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg.
“We have to be prepared for the long term, it could go on for many, many years“, he warned through an interview he gave to AFP.
“The president Putin wants a different Europe, a Europe where he can control his neighbors, where he can decide what countries can doStoltenberg said, as reported by the Athens News Agency, a week before the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
After a year of fighting with tens of thousands of casualties on both sides, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization fears a new Russian attack.
The Alliance’s 30 member states remain more determined than ever to ensure that Ukraine emerges victorious in the end, Stoltenberg stressed.
“We are here to ensure that Ukraine wins this war and to provide it with the weapons, ammunition and support it needs“, he said.
“If President Putin wins in Ukraine, it will be a tragedy for Ukrainians. But it will also be dangerous for all of us because he and other authoritarian leaders will become convinced that when they use military force, they can achieve their goals,” he concluded.
