Russia preparing for new offensives. NATO Secretary General calls for further arms supplies to Ukraine

This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

“Regrettably, we see no sign that Russia is preparing for peace. On the contrary, Moscow is preparing for new military offensives. So we must continue to provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs to retake territory, and prevail as a sovereign, independent nation,” he emphasized.

It is known that NATO allies have provided Ukraine with military, humanitarian, and financial assistance totaling about $120 billion since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion.

• On January 30, Jens Stoltenberg urged South Korea to increase military support for Ukraine and referred to the experience of other countries that have changed their policy of declining to supply weapons. 

• On February 1, he noted that an important prerequisite for the start of peace talks with Russia is the delivery of weapons to Ukraine to help it defend itself against the occupiers.
