This statement was made by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who will soon leave this post.

— European allies and Canada can certainly do more. But it is critical that the United States continues to support Ukraine. This should be a joint effort between North America and Europe, and the US — biggest ally. Therefore, I expect the United States to continue to support Ukraine, — he said.
The Secretary General noted that providing such assistance to Ukraine — in the interests of US security.
In his opinion, if President Putin wins in Ukraine, it will not only be a tragedy for Ukrainians, it will also make the world more dangerous.
— If we want to reach a conclusion in which Ukraine will stand as a sovereign independent state, then the path to this — provide Ukraine with more support, — Stoltenberg emphasized.
Recall that US presidential candidate Donald Trump said that he previously got along well with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and would advise Putin never to get involved in Ukraine.
