UKRAINE: 12:25 Ukraine is waiting for a powerful Russian offensive, but NATO does not intend to become a party to the conflict – Secretary General Stoltenberg. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, in an interview with the German Welt Am Sonntag, said that in the coming weeks, Ukraine should be prepared for “the offensive of the Russians and even more brutality, even more destruction of vital infrastructure,” but NATO does not intend to send troops to Ukraine. The Alliance does not exclude that the conflict between the countries will take years. To prevent this, according to Stoltenberg, the West is actively arming Ukraine:
“In the long term, Ukraine cannot defend itself with Soviet-era weapons, but must switch to modern Western weapons. Only in this way will Kyiv be able to successfully repel the Russian invasion.”

Fighting is going on in the vicinity of the “triangle” in the area of the settlements of Voevodovka, Shipilovo, Belogorovka and on the Privolnyansky bridgehead.
