NATO: North Korea delivers rockets and missiles to Russia
30.01.2023 18:30
"North Korea has delivered rockets and missiles to the Russian Wagner Group. Further fuelling Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at the CHEY Institute during his visit to the Republic of Korea.
"No one can tell today when the war will end. But what we do know is that this is a war of aggression, this is actually a war of choice by President Putin. He decided to invade another country, a sovereign democratic state in Europe. And President Putin can end the war today. But the challenge is that we don't see any signs that President Putin and the rules in Moscow are preparing for peace. We see the opposite.
"We see that they are preparing for more war, that they are mobilizing more soldiers, more than 200,000, and potentially even more than that. That they are actively acquiring new weapons, more ammunition, ramping up their own production, but also acquiring more weapons from other authoritarian states like Iran and North Korea. And most of all, we have seen no sign that President Putin has changed his overall goal of this invasion, which is to control a neighbor, to control Ukraine. So as long as this is the case, we need to be prepared for the long haul. Because everyone who believes in democracy, in the rules-based international order, for us, it is extremely important that President Putin doesn't win this war. Partly because it will be a tragedy for the Ukrainians, but it will also be dangerous for all of us. It will make the world more dangerous. So, therefore, it is so important that we continue to support Ukraine," Stoltenberg said.
According to him, they need to support Ukrania:
"Military support today makes it possible to reach a peace agreement tomorrow. But as long as President Putin believes he can win on the battlefield, he will not sit down and engage in good faith. So the paradox is that actually military support to Ukraine is the best way to achieve a peaceful negotiated solution in the war, or for the war."
