"Over and Over the Expectations": Brussels should not teach the Armed Forces to fight - NATO Secretary General (Video)

Jens Stoltenberg said that most Western analysts said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation would be able to seize Kiev for several days or weeks. However, Ukrainians are all the time exceeding the expectations of the West. The Russian army was the second in the world in power and power, and became the second in Ukraine. European officials should not criticize the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces for "slowness".

This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on September 7, speaking to the European Parliament. According to him, most Western analysts said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation would be able to capture Kiev for several days or weeks. However, the defense forces were able to displace the invaders from the north, and then to hold a counter -offensive in the Kharkiv region and to be deduced by Kherson.

Now the same experts are disappointed with the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, complain that it is moving too slowly. "The reality is that Ukrainians exceed expectations again and again," Stoltenberg said. According to NATO Secretary -General, Western officials can give advice to Ukrainian military and politicians, but all the most difficult decisions are to make commanders of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, as well as soldiers on the ground.
