Not yet the end of the war: NATO was assessed by the successful counter -attacks of the Armed Forces in September

Yens Stoltenberg, the General General of the Alliance, believes that the Ukrainian military, like Western allies, should be prepared for a harsh winter. On September 16, the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the Russian troops was quite effective, but at the same time warned that countries should prepare for the long term, as it did not signal the beginning of the end of the war. About it reports Reuters.

"Of course, the fact that the Ukrainian armed forces have been able to conquer the territory, as well as strike on the rear of Russian troops," said Stoltenberg Radio Air Force. Meanwhile, the Secretary General noted that the conflict will be long, and the countries need to prepare for the countries. According to him, a priority task for the Alliance is military support to strengthen the Armed Forces. "Winter promises to be harsh.

So, we need to provide winter equipment, winter uniform, generators, tents so that they can act in winter," NATO Secretary General. Earlier, Stoltenberg said on the air of CNN that in connection with the supply of weapons in NATO, the Alliance has to work with the defensive industry to accelerate the production of equipment and weapons. "The support we have provided to Ukraine has taken our available stocks, so they are now declining, which means that we need to restore stocks," Stoltenberg said.

We will remind, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg September 7 said that the full -scale war of Ukraine with Russia is a critical phase. At the same time, he stressed that winter will be a difficult test for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and for Ukraine in general, as well as for Western allies. Such rhetoric on assessments of the Armed Forces success in early September could be heard from US President Joe Biden.
