NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has vowed that the West will have to arm Ukraine for a long time to come. Russian President Vladimir Putin does not intend to make peace immediately, he told the British newspaper The Guardian.
“President Putin is not planning for peace, he is planning more war,” Stoltenberg said. The West must therefore be prepared to supply the Ukrainian army with weapons for a long time to come. “The need will continue, because this is a war of attrition; what matters is the industrial capacity to maintain support.
The Russian side is increasing military industrial production and shaking hands with “authoritarian regimes like Iran or North Korea” to get more weapons. The fierce fighting around Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine shows that the Russian government is willing to “deploy thousands and thousands of soldiers and accept many casualties for minimal gain”.
reclaim territory
According to Stoltenberg, with the equipment of the West, the Ukrainians can “recapture territory and liberate more and more land”. The goal is for the Ukrainian army to launch an offensive. An EU summit is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, in which the situation in Ukraine will be discussed, among other things. Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) travels from Austria to Brussels.
