NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenbergassured this Wednesday that the Ukrainian counteroffensive is making progress on the ground and has overcome some Russian defenses, after regretting that, however, the Russian president, Vladimir Putinhas not changed its objectives one bit.
“The Ukrainian counteroffensive continues to advance. In some areas, Ukrainian forces have surpassed Russian defenses,” said NATO’s political chief in statements alongside the new Latvian Prime Minister, Evika Silina, on her first visit to the allied headquarters. .
In this sense, he has warned that there are “no signs” that Putin’s goals have changed, which is why he has called to maintain international support for kyiv. “The best way to achieve lasting peace is to increase support for Ukraine,” she stressed.
The former Norwegian prime minister has thanked the help sent by the United States, whose Abrams battle tanks have arrived this week in the hands of the Ukrainian Army and “will increase the capacity to push back the Russian forces.”
These teams are one of kyiv’s main requests to Washington since the burst of the guerraback at the end of February 2022. Russia, for its part, has recognized that “they are a very serious weapon”, but has assured that “they will burn” just like “other foreign-made tanks.”
