Disappointing statement from NATO: War can last for months or even years, we must prepare for much more

On the 43rd day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg made a disappointing statement about the state of the war. While the world is locked in a positive development that may come out of peace negotiations, Stoltenberg said the war between Russia and Ukraine could last for months or even years. Noting that the war could escalate beyond Ukraine, Stoltenberg said, “NATO’s full focus is on preventing this escalation.”

“WE WILL NOT BE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN CONFLICT”

Stating that the important issue for NATO is the support of its allies to Ukraine, Stoltenberg said, “NATO will not be directly involved in the conflict and NATO allies will not send troops to Ukraine. However, we also provide support to Ukraine in many issues.”

“THE WAR RISK OF CLIMBING BEYOND UKRAINE”

Stating that “We provide deterrence by supporting Ukraine’s naval and air forces,” Stoltenberg said, “As long as the war continues, of course, the Ukrainian people will suffer more, but there is also the risk that the war will escalate beyond Ukraine. The full focus of NATO is to prevent this escalation.” spoke.
