While Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine continued, NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana made striking statements. Geoana stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot win the war in Ukraine.
Geoana made comments to the Associated Press about the Russia-Ukraine war, which is in its first month.
Emphasizing that Russia’s attacks were a “barbaric war”, Geoana claimed that Putin could not win this war.
NUCLEAR GIVES A MESSAGE
Geoana warned that if the Russian side uses chemical or nuclear weapons, NATO will be “forced to take the necessary measures” and added, “NATO is a defense alliance, but it is also a nuclear alliance. If it uses chemical weapons or high-level systems against Ukraine, it will be Putin’s responsibility. “It will fundamentally change the nature of its war with Ukraine. I can assure you that NATO is prepared to respond proportionately.” used the phrases.
Referring to the allegations that approximately 300 civilians died in the attack on a theater in Mariupol, Russia, Geoana commented that this is another indication that Putin’s attacks are “irrational, barbaric and unjustified”.
“PUTIN BELIEVED IN POST-IMPERIALISM FANTASES”
Geoana expressed hope that Putin would not continue to commit more war crimes against an independent society.
Pointing out that harsh sanctions against Russia and huge military losses may eventually make Putin reconsider the attack on Ukraine, Geoana said, “Putin probably believed in his post-imperialist fantasies, thinking that the Ukrainians would welcome them with open arms. In fact, they met with very fierce resistance. They are still in Ukraine today. We believe that even with the reinforcements coming to Russia, Russia does not have the power and capacity to invade all of Ukraine. made its assessment.
Geoana added that they support Ukraine in many ways and that they will support Ukraine in the rebuilding process of the region when the time comes. (AA)
