Russian President Vladimir Putin has not abandoned his plan to control Ukraine. He is moving the main forces to the east to capture Donbas.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said this after a ministerial meeting in Brussels. "The easiest way to end this war is for President Putin to withdraw all troops and engage in serious diplomatic efforts to find a diplomatic solution. But we have to be realistic, and there is no indication that President Putin has changed his main goal of controlling Ukraine and achieving significant military. victories on the battlefield," Stoltenberg said.
He stressed that NATO does not see a Russian retreat, but only a regrouping, a change in the positions of their forces, moving from the north of Ukraine to the east. "And we expect a great battle in the Donbas, a great Russian offensive. That is why the allies today noted the need to urgently provide additional assistance to Ukraine," the secretary general added.
