NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the most difficult time has come for Kiev since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine.
Stoltenberg acknowledged that the Russian military "is managing to achieve some minor successes".
“Now is the most difficult time for Kiev,” TASS quoted him as saying in an interview with CNN.
As the NATO Secretary General noted, the alliance does not expect a significant breakthrough from Russia. At the same time Stoltenberg emphasised that “wars are always unpredictable”.
We will remind, earlier Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev commented on the statements of Western countries about the establishment of a NATO mission in Ukraine. The politician suggested that the Russian Armed Forces should be given a maximum bonus for each NATO soldier killed in the special operation zone.
