The Secretary General of NATO receives Antena 3 Noticias minutes after the conclusion of an important meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels. An appointment in which the Atlantic Alliance has promised to accelerate arms shipments to the Ukrainian army and make a qualitative leap in transfers, including heavy weapons.
Ukrainian Minister Dimitry Kuleba, present at the Brussels headquarters, made his requests to the allies very clear: lawsuit against anti-ship missiles, Armored personnel carriers, combat aircraft and heavy air defense systems.
Jens Stoltenberg tells us that the war is on enter a crucial phase and that very soon, “within a couple of weeks,” the intelligence services expect a major Russian offensive in the Donbass, although he concedes that “until then the Russians will not sit still, there will be fighting and attacks every day on Ukrainian territory. Off For this reason, the Secretary General understands very well the urgency demanded by the Kiev authorities.
“The Allies are sending many different types of weapons, from the old Soviet-era to the most modern and advanced systems. Every day we see the effect of these weapons on the battlefield, we see every day Russian troops being destroyed by the weapons sent by NATO,” he says.
Chance of Ukrainian victory
The Norwegian politician assures that “of course Ukraine can win this war on the battlefield”. Allied sources tell us that this country is resisting invasion and even gaining a lot of ground for three reasons: the training its soldiers have been receiving from NATO since 2014, because of the tons of weapons they receive every day, and mostly because known as the “will to win,” that is, the desire to win, having a clear goal, such as defeating the invader, something the Russians do not have.
Allied countries will continue to support Ukraine and prepare for war that will last weeks, months or even years.
Spain contributes a lot to NATO
The Secretary-General appreciates Spain’s contribution to various Allied missions and arms shipments to Ukraine, although he insists we must increase our defense spending, as the organization’s 30 countries have promised.
“Spain takes part in many missions, We appreciate that, but yes, I hope all allies keep their promise to increase military spending to 2%. This brutal aggression in Ukraine shows how important it is to spend more on our defense… next June’s Madrid summit will be very important in that regard.”
