The Secretary General of the Alliance called on allies to continue to support Kyiv “in good times and bad.”
The situation in Ukraine may worsen due to insufficient support from the West. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned about this in an interview with the German television channel Das Erste.
“We must also be prepared for bad news. Wars develop in stages. But we must support Ukraine in both good and bad times,” he said.
At the same time, Stoltenberg emphasized that increasing the production of ammunition is “important.” He noted that allies should continue to support Ukraine in the war unleashed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to him, support for Ukraine is in the interest of the North Atlantic Alliance itself.
“We have to understand that if President Putin wins, a tragedy awaits Ukraine. But it will also be dangerous for us. Therefore, it is in our own interests for Ukraine to survive,” the Secretary General emphasized.
Speaking about the situation at the front, Stoltenberg agreed that there had been no significant progress in the past few months. However, this, according to him, does not mean that the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not achieve any success during the counteroffensive.
When asked how the Ukrainian Armed Forces should act in this difficult situation, Stoltenberg transferred operational decisions to the Ukrainians and their military leadership.
“I think one of the problems we have to solve is the fragmentation of the European defense industry,” said Jens Stoltenberg, adding that Western countries are now “not able to work together as closely as they should. “
It was previously reported that American companies cannot produce enough weapons to meet global demand, especially because of the wars in Ukraine and Israel.
