Stoltenberg: The Ukraine war could last for several years

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg believes it could take several years before the war in Ukraine is over. The costs will be high, he says.

“No one knows how long the war will last. We must prepare for the fact that it may take several years. 

“We must not stop supporting Ukraine, even though the costs are high, not only in terms of military support but also rising energy and food prices,” Stoltenberg said in an interview with the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag.

“But there is no comparison with the cost that Ukrainians have to pay daily, with many lives (lost),” the NATO Secretary-General stated.

Stoltenberg believes that shipments of more modern weapons and equipment will increase the likelihood that Ukraine will be able to drive Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces out of the Donbas region.
