Russia’s War in Ukraine Could Last Years, Says NATO Secretary General

Russia’s war in Ukraine could take years, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told a German weekly, adding that supplying Ukrainian troops with state-of-the-art weaponry would increase the chance of freeing the Donbass region from Russian control. .

“We must prepare for the fact that it could take years. We must not give up on supporting Ukraine,” Stoltenberg told Bild am Sonntag.

“Even though the costs are high, not just for military support, but also for rising energy and food prices.

“A NATO summit in Madrid later this month is expected to agree on an assistance package for Ukraine that will help the country move from former Soviet-era weaponry to standard NATO equipment,” Stoltenberg said earlier. From this week.

Ukraine vowed on Saturday to prevail against Moscow as it battled Russian attacks near a key eastern city and several sites were hit by bombs and missiles.

Russian forces were defeated in an attempt to invade Ukraine’s capital Kiev in March. Since then, Russia has refocused on the Donbass region in the eastern part of Ukraine.
