Putin is ready for a long war and new offensives - Stoltenberg

According to the Secretary General of the Alliance, there is an increasing amount of resources in the Russian Federation. Russian troops seek access to more weapons and ammunition. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that there were no signs that Putin had left his primary purpose to conquer all Ukraine. About it reports AFP. "Russia should not be underestimated. Russia plans a long war," Stoltenberg explained. According to him, there is an increasing amount of resources.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation try to access weapons and ammunition. "We need to understand that President Putin is ready to participate in this war for a long time and hold new offenses," the Alliance Head explained. "Most likely, this war, like most wars, will end at the negotiation table," Stoltenberg said, adding that any decision should assume that Ukraine will remain a sovereign, independent country.

The fastest way to achieve this is to provide Ukraine with military support so that Putin understands that he cannot win the battlefield and that he will have to sit at the negotiating table. According to some reports, the United States is now completing negotiations on the supply of Kyiv Patriot. Stoltenberg said that the discussion of deliveries is ongoing, noting that NATO allies need to make sure that ammunition and spare parts will be enough for all the delivered systems.

According to Stoltenberg, NATO is now increasing the production of weapons to fill in stocks for protection and restraint, and to continue supplying weapons to Ukraine in the long run. Recall that in the United States stated that Ukraine has military potential for the return of Crimea. However, the White House representatives are afraid of Putin's answers and the possible use of nuclear weapons.
