June 19, 2022 at 01:33 Stoltenberg: The Ukraine war can last for several years NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg thinks it may take several years before the war in Ukraine is over. The costs will be high, he says. – No one knows how long the war will last. We must prepare for the fact that it may take several years. We must not let go of support for Ukraine, even though the costs are high, not only in terms of military support, but also as a result of rising energy and food prices, Stoltenberg said in an interview with the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag. – But there is no comparison with the cost that Ukrainians have to pay every single day, with many lives. And if Putin’s lesson from the war is that he can simply continue as he did in the war in 2008 in Georgia and the occupation of Crimea in 2014, we must pay a much higher price, says NATO Secretary General. Stoltenberg believes that shipments of more modern weapons and equipment will increase the likelihood that Ukraine will be able to drive Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces out of the Donbas region.
