The Kremlin's lack of will to stop the war requires a response from NATO, Admiral Bauer noted.
There is no sign that Russia is preparing to establish peace, so NATO states must make more efforts in military cooperation with partners and increase support for Ukraine.
This was stated by the head of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, at a press conference in Brussels on January 16, reports “European Pravda”.
Admiral Bauer emphasized that the Kremlin's lack of will to stop the war requires a response from NATO.
“Russia's war against Ukraine has global consequences, and there are no signs that the Kremlin is preparing for peace. Putin has put the Russian economy on a war footing and Russia is increasingly cooperating with China, Iran and North Korea. This requires a united and strong response. This is why we are putting more effort into military cooperation and the exchange of knowledge and experience with our partners,” he said.
Admiral Rob Bauer said that the meeting of the NATO Military Committee on January 15-16 was held for the first time with the participation of the Chiefs of General Staff from 26 NATO partner countries and the European Union.
The countries represented include Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Qatar, the Republic of Korea, Serbia, Switzerland and Ukraine.
“Today, the Chiefs of General Staff of the Alliance countries had a long conversation with their Ukrainian counterpart, General Alexander Syrsky. We have confirmed that NATO will do everything possible to help and invest in Ukraine in the coming years, defending the international rules-based order, including through security “assistance and training for Ukraine,” Admiral Bauer said.
Recall that the President of Ukraine believes that in order to achieve peace and prevent repeated Russian aggression, Ukraine must have a strong position based on security guarantees.
Recall that earlier TSN.ua reported on what scenarios for ending the war in Ukraine are being discussed.
