This was stated by the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during a speech at the Institute for Prospective Research in South Korea. According to the leader of the Alliance, if Putin had a desire to finish the war, he would have made it "today", but yet no signs of this block sees. "We see the opposite. We see that they are preparing for a greater war, that they mobilize more soldiers, more than 200,000 people, and possibly even more.
They actively buy new weapons, more ammunition, grow their own production, and buy more Weapons in other authoritarian states such as Iran and North Korea, "NATO Secretary General. The head of the military bloc also noted that Putin's main goal in the war against Ukraine is to "control it", and the President of the Russian Federation has not refused it today.
In addition, Stoltenberg added that not all, but many wars end at the negotiating table, and in his opinion, this "also at some stage" will end in this way, but it is impossible to assert it confidently. NATO Secretary General has stated that the Alliance needs to continue to support Ukraine in order to "reach a peace agreement" in the near future. "The paradox is that in fact, Ukraine's military support is the best way to reach a peaceful negotiation decision," Stoltenberg said.
