Coming months 'will be difficult' for Ukraine: NATO chief
Stoltenberg urged continued international support for Kyiv
14 November, 15:54
(ANSA-AFP) - THE HAGUE, NOV 14 - Ukraine faces difficult
months ahead and Russia's military capability should not be
underestimated, NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said on
Monday. Stoltenberg praised the "incredible courage" of
Ukrainian forces following Russia's withdrawal from the
strategic southern city of Kherson, and urged continued
international support for Kyiv. "The coming months will be
difficult. Putin's aim is to leave Ukraine cold and dark this
winter," he told a press conference in The Hague after meeting
the Dutch foreign and defence ministers. We should not make the
mistake of underestimating Russia," Stoltenberg said, stressing
that Moscow's forces "retain significant capabilities, as well
as a large number of troops". (ANSA-AFP).
