NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has anticipated further arms deliveries to Ukraine on the eve of new talks on the matter to be held at Ramstein Air Base.
In fact, the secretary general has advocated an increase in shipments of heavy weaponry given that, in his view, the war in Ukraine is in a «decisive» phase between «fierce battles».
«Recent commitments are important,» Stoltenberg said of the UK’s recent announcement to deliver Challenger 2 tanks to Ukrainian forces, «and I expect more in the near future.»
«It is therefore important that we provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs to win and to remain an independent nation. Military support for Ukraine is the fastest way to peace,» he assured in an interview to the ‘Handelsblatt’ newspaper picked up by DPA.
Stoltenberg has warned of the danger of underestimating Russia. «What they lack in morale and training, the Russians try to make up for with brute force and numbers, and they have shown that they are willing to accept heavy losses for their goals,» he said.
