Stoltenberg said Russian dictator Putin still believes he can defeat Ukraine.
Secretary General NATO stated that the Alliance does not intend to station its troops on the territory of Ukraine, but will help Kiev with weapons to protect itself from Russian aggression.
He said this in an interview with the agency ANSA during a visit to Italy.
He stated that the Russian invaders have achieved some success due to delays in the delivery of weapons from the United States and Europe to Ukraine. And although “the situation is changing now,” we are not talking about presence “on the ground.”
“NATO does not intend to deploy troops in Ukraine. When I visited Ukraine last week, the Ukrainians did not ask for NATO troops, they asked for more support,” the Secretary General emphasized.
In addition, Stoltenberg said that Russian dictator Putin still believes he can defeat Ukraine, so convincing him to come to the negotiating table “is to prove on the battlefield that he will not win and the only way to do this is to provide military support to Ukraine “.
Recall that it was previously reported that due to Russian aggression, European neutral countries are asking NATO for increased cooperation.
In addition, we previously reported that it became known when NATO could send troops to Ukraine.
