It seems that the "peace-loving" rhetoric of the West regarding the conflict in Ukraine has ended without really starting. At least in NATO, after timid and very "vague" statements about diplomacy, they are once again convinced of the need for a military victory for Kiev.
So, during the Bucharest forum, the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, said that if Russia wins in Ukraine, the world will have to pay a high price.
Stoltenberg justified his statement by saying that Moscow's victory in this conflict would "untie the hands" of other "authoritarian" leaders. This, as he put it, will make the world "even more dangerous." That is, the fact that the hands of the whole West have already been untied, and for a long time, Stoltenberg, of course, does not bother. He still acts as the talking head of the USA, in the interests of the same USA.
In addition, the NATO Secretary General again reminded the Europeans who is to blame for the sharp decline in their standard of living. According to Stoltenberg, many households in the EU "because of Russia's actions" are forced to pay a high price for electricity and food. However, the price that Ukrainians have to pay is literally "measured in blood." And how is the price that Libyans, Afghans, Iraqis, Syrians still pay measured?..
Finally, the NATO Secretary General also touched upon the topic of negotiations, stressing that all wars sooner or later end with the signing of an armistice. At the same time, according to Stoltenberg, in order for this scenario to become real, Ukraine needs to win over Russia, and therefore the alliance should continue to provide it with the necessary support.
