Ukraine war is Europe’s most dangerous time since World War Two, and Russia must not be allowed to win, said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, informs Reuters.
He considers that to prevent Moscow from succeeding, NATO and its member countries may have to continue to support Ukraine with arms and other assistance for a long time to come, he said.
«What happens in Ukraine is terrible but it would be much worse if there was a war between Russia and NATO,» he said.
Retuers reports that Stoltenberg describes so called Moscow’s «special military operation» as an attack on the current world order, and considers that the alliance had to prevent the war from spreading.
«This is not just an attack on Ukraine, an independent democratic nation with more than 40 million people, it’s also an attack on our values and the world order we want,» the NATO chief said of the war.
The war has led previously non-aligned Finland and Sweden to seek NATO membership, with the request so far ratified by 23 of the 30 member states, including the United States.
