The invasion of Ukraine was a strategic defeat for Russia, but the courage and bravery with which the Ukrainians fought did not stop the bombs or intercept the missiles.
The war in the Middle East should not reduce allied support for Ukraine. Kyiv still needs a lot of weapons. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced this at a meeting of the Nordic Council in Oslo on Tuesday, October 31.
“We have to continue to support Ukraine. This means more weapons. And I say this because I want peace in Ukraine. President Putin can stop the war now by stopping the attack on its neighbor. Ukraine there is no such chance. If Ukraine stops defending itself, they will be occupied. And occupation is not peace,” Stoltenberg said.
He added that the courage and bravery with which the Ukrainians fought did not stop with bombs or intercepting missiles.
“This is what weapons do. Quality and quantity. Tanks, air defense, fighters and ammunition,” he said.
Stoltenberg also explained why we can now talk about Russia’s defeat and the Kremlin’s strategic mistake.
“Russia has lost. It has lost tens of thousands of soldiers. It has lost a large amount of military equipment. And it has lost political influence and is increasingly isolated. The invasion of Ukraine is a strategic defeat for Russia,” NATO said. The Secretary-General noted and emphasized that the stronger Ukraine is on the battlefield, the stronger it is at the negotiating table.
Earlier, Stoltenberg said that all NATO member countries agree that Ukraine will become a member of the North Atlantic Alliance in the future.
