After meeting with US President Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg warned that the West must prepare for a long war of extinction in Ukraine.
“We have to prepare for the long term,” he said.
“What we’re seeing is that the war has turned into an extinction war,” the secretary-general told reporters.
Stoltenberg traveled to the US capital to prepare for the NATO summit scheduled for June 28-30 in Madrid.
The war in Ukraine “could end tomorrow if Russia ends its aggression,” the NATO secretary general said at a news conference with the head of US diplomacy, Antony Blinken, on Wednesday.
But at the moment “we don’t see any signs in that direction,” he added.
Blinken warned that the Russian offensive in Ukraine would take “months”.
From the beginning of the invasion, Russian troops took control of the southern regions – most of Kherson and part of Zaporizhzhia – and gradually advanced into the Donbass, especially in the capture of Mariupol (southeast).
