NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg On Second Anniversary Of Russia’s Full-Scale Invasion Of Ukraine – Statement
Eurasia Review ^ | February 25, 2024 | Jens Stoltenberg

Posted on 02/26/2024 10:13:36 AM PST by Timber Rattler

Today, we mark two years since Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine. Starting the biggest war in Europe since World War Two. Let me begin by honouring all those brave Ukrainians who have fallen or been wounded in defence of their homeland.

The situation on the battlefield remains extremely serious. President Putin’s aim to dominate Ukraine has not changed. And there are no indications that he is preparing for peace.

But we must not lose heart. Ukraine has demonstrated remarkable skill and fierce determination again and again.

Ukraine did not collapse in weeks, as many feared it would. You have recaptured half of the territory seized by Russia, pushed Russia back from large parts of the Black Sea, and inflicted heavy losses on the Russian forces.

Above all, Ukraine retains its freedom and independence. This has been made possible by your courage and resolve.

Enabled by major military and economic support from NATO Allies. Just in the past days and weeks, NATO Allies have announced new packages of aid worth billions of dollars. These cover key capabilities like artillery ammunition, air defence, and combat boats. As well as F-16 equipment and spare parts, drones, and demining equipment.

More support is on the way.

President Putin started this war because he wanted to close NATO’s door, and deny Ukraine the right to choose its own path. But he has achieved the exact opposite: Ukraine is now closer to NATO than ever before.

We are helping to make your forces more and more interoperable with Allies. We will open a new Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre in Poland together. And we are deepening our political ties through the NATO-Ukraine Council, where we consult and make decisions together.

Ukraine will join NATO. It is not a question of if, but of when.

As we prepare you for that day, NATO will continue to stand with Ukraine. For your security, and for ours.

And thus, Putin's "Special Military Operation" backfires in the worst possible way for the Kremlin.

If Stupidberg’s plan was to expand and extend the war - this should do it.

Ukraine has to be in NATO, it’s the only way to prevent a complete Russian takeover

same with Moldova

“we have no choice”, as you Ukraine-haters always like to say

And there you have it. NATO destroyed Ukraine. Completely. Bread basket to the world contaminated with depleted uranium and all the farmers gone, and their land given to Black Rock. 3/4 of million dead Ukrainian soldiers, 3-4 times that maimed. And for what?

It’s sensible to be alarmed by Putin’s warmongering Russia

Forewarned is fore-armed

Your nation is a Welcher. You should probably keep a low profile on NATO.

Nearly two decades ago, NATO members agreed to, at minimum, record annual defence spending equivalent to 2 per cent of GDP. Since then, however, Canada has failed to uphold this promise.

And here we have a Canadian from British Columbia posting about how American taxpayers should give more to Zelensky and how poorly the Republican House members are treating Ukraine by not sending an additional $61 billion more. Your particular Russian hatreds and Nazi salutes aren't organic to America, and always remember, you are not an American.

Mind your own business

My solution: 1912 or 1637 borders.
Problem solved.

This war is going to be decided on the ground.

The Russians will set the final borders of Ukraine.

If they will be facing NATO troops at that border, it will be minimum at the Dnieper, and most likely at the Ternophil River.

But Globohomo doesn’t care about what happens to Ukraine, and Ukrainians.

They don’t even care about their own Intel people, when they leak out the location of their most important base, and where to find it.

If you want a Ukraine to cease to exist, keep pushing it to be in NATO. There is no chance the Russians will allow that.

And, if you Canadians want to go to war with Russia, do it and see how long your military lasts.
