Putin's military victory demands a high price
According to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Vladimir Putin is paying a high price for every small gain on the Ukrainian front. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to him, Russia's resources are diminishing and its military power is insufficient. This was reported by the BBC.
At a press conference during the "Coalition of Volunteers" meeting held in London, Rutte said: "Putin's aggression is costing the lives of hundreds of thousands of Russians. Ukraine is resisting bravely, and our assistance is proving effective.
The truth is that Putin is running out of money, soldiers, and ideas."According to the NATO leader, the situation on the front shows that the Russian army is achieving only minor gains at the cost of heavy losses. This once again proves the ineffectiveness of the military operation's strategy.
Additionally, Rutte supported US President Donald Trump's idea of temporarily halting combat operations on the front line. According to him, it is time to increase pressure on Russia to achieve a just peace.
Rutte also positively assessed the decision of the European Union and Canada to provide additional military aid to Ukraine. "Events on the battlefield show that the aid given to Ukraine is effective.
We must not stop on this path," said the NATO Secretary General. His statements are not new.
On October 16, he emphasized that NATO countries are economically and militarily far superior to Russia. According to him, the combined economy of NATO countries reaches 50 trillion dollars, while Russia's is only two trillion dollars, equivalent to the economy of the state of Texas.
Mark Rutte said that Western countries should not overestimate Russia's capabilities. "Moscow appears strong, but its capabilities are limited.
If we unite towards a single goal and help Ukraine, we can put an end to this conflict," he said.
