(Baonghean.vn) - Deputy Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Mircea Geoana expressed his opinion that the conflict in Ukraine will not end even in 2025.
According to RT, in an interview with Romanian TV channel Digi 24 on January 12, NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana said that the confrontation between the parties in Ukraine will continue for a long time.
"Military capability cannot achieve decisive victory one way or another, regardless of the front," said Mr. Geoana.
According to NATO's Deputy Secretary General, the alliance will witness a prolonged conflict with attacks and counterattacks, as well as "conquest and loss". So, Mr. Geoana called for preparing for a long conflict.
Earlier on January 11, NATO and Ukraine met at Ukraine's request. Kiev's representatives participating in the online meeting were Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk and Kiev Air Force Commander, Deputy Interior Minister Oleksei Serhieiev.
In a statement after the meeting, NATO said member states had outlined plans to provide billions of euros in economic, military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine in 2024.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said: “NATO strongly condemns Russia’s missile and drone attacks on Ukraine. As Moscow escalates its attacks on Ukrainian cities, NATO allies are also strengthening Ukraine’s air defenses.”
Meanwhile, German Deputy Defense Minister Matthias Moosdorff expressed the view that negotiations between Russia and the West on Ukraine should begin in 2024./.
