The concept of “containing Russian forces” is a thing of the past, as Russia has already launched a massive invasion and the war has lasted 813 days.
Providing Ukraine with the necessary military assistance from its allies does not necessarily deter Russia from attacking frontally. The invaders did not achieve any of their goals, so they continued the war. This was said on Thursday, May 16, by the head of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, at a press conference following the meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council.
According to him, partners should help Ukraine resist Russian aggression, but “it is important to understand that everything we do does not necessarily prevent the Russians from doing something.”
“What we can do is make sure that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are as ready as possible and have the weapons to withstand any Russian aggression,” the admiral said.
He remembered that the war had lasted 813 days, and the Russians did not want to stop.
“They will continue because they have not achieved any of their strategic goals. That is why they are continuing, and that is why Ukraine must continue to defend, except that the Ukrainians want to return the territory that was taken from them,” the chairman of. emphasized by the Military Committee. NATO.
NATO allies are moving closer to sending troops to Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces, although the US remains opposed to the idea.
Let’s recall that on May 10, the Russians launched an offensive in the north of the Kharkov region. They captured about a dozen villages in the “gray zone.”
As the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, said, the Ukrainian army is stabilizing the front in the Kharkov region, but Russia may launch a new offensive in the Sumy region.
