"Capitulation is not peace": Stoltenberg told what the negotiations with the Russian Federation should be

" Instead, the Kremlin's leader has received the Alliance's expansion and Sweden's membership is evidence. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Monday, March 11, before the Swedish flag raising ceremony near the Alliance headquarters. "He (Putin-Ed. ) Sought to destroy Ukraine as a sovereign state, but he failed.

NATO became greater and stronger, Ukraine is close to membership in the Alliance more than ever before, and as the bold Ukrainians continue to fight for freedom, We stand on their side, "Stoltenberg said. NATO Secretary General also commented on the recent words of Pope Francis about the "raising of the White Banner" and the beginning of negotiations with Russia. "President Putin has launched this war and he may end it today, but Ukraine has no such opportunity. Capitulation is not peace.

We need to continue to make Ukraine strong. We need to show Putin that he will not receive the desired battlefield but has Sit at the negotiating table and looking for a decision for which Ukraine is recognized and remains a sovereign independent state, ”the Alliance head emphasized. Stoltenberg expressed his belief that Sweden's membership was making NATO stronger and added that "the Alliance's doors are open and not Russia should decide which way to choose to European countries.

" We will remind, on March 9 in an interview with the Swiss broadcaster RSI, Pope Roman stated that Ukraine needs to raise the "White Flag" and agree to negotiations with Russia. The Vatican explained that the Pontiff called for ceasefire and negotiations, not to the surrender of Ukraine.
