NATO Secretary General compares Putin with terrorist mass murderer Breivik
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has spoken in Norway on Utøya Island, infamous as the site of a 2011 mass murder by right-wing extremist Anders Breivik, and compared him to Putin
Stoltenberg said that Putin should not "win and get confirmation that violence works", and NATO's task is to prevent such an outcome, the New York Times reports.
The Secretary General of NATO spoke at the youth camp of the Labor Party of Norway, at the same event that Breivik interrupted with his massacre (by the way, he spoke favorably of Putin) and drew the same moral from this event as from the resistance of Ukrainians to the Russian invasion: "normal people", as Stoltenberg says, are able to "defend our central values of freedom and democracy" in the face of aggression and evil.
In an interview at the same location, Stoltenberg acknowledged that NATO allies are suffering losses from the war through sanctions, arms supplies, inflation, as well as rising energy prices. However, "the price paid by Ukrainians is measured in human lives," he emphasized. Interest in Ukraine in some Western countries is fading, but one cannot relax - it is necessary to continue to prove the need to arm the country, the NATO Secretary General said.
For reference. Anders Breivik is the organizer and perpetrator of the massacre in Norway in July 2011, as a result of which 77 people died and 240 were injured. This is one of the most brutal terrorist attacks in the history of mankind.- News
