The NATO Secretary General also added that Russia is paying a very high price for "minor" gains in territory.

Stoltenberg emphasized that the attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces made it possible to sink a significant part of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, while Ukraine’s Air Force is shooting down important and expensive A-50 long-range radar and control aircraft in the air.
