“Ukrainians are gradually gaining ground. They are pushing the Russians back. Now it is even more important to support them because we know that it is not an easy path for them. What we have seen is that the Ukrainians have exceeded expectations more than once.” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said this in an interview with CNN’s Christian Amanpour. “We have to trust them. We advise, we help, we support . But in the end it is the Ukrainians who have to make the decisions,” Stoltenberg added on the field. The Secretary General then explained that last July’s extension for another year was “the last extension” at the helm of the alliance “It was extremely significant to be a general secretary who held this great alliance together,” he added.
