Why is NATO Creating More War
Published 2Â years, 9Â months ago
Description
Press conference by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg with the Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, Berlin, 19 June 2023.
🗣 | NATO Secretary General:
Chancellor Scholz, dear Olaf,
Thank you so much for hosting me here in Berlin, and also thank you so much for your leadership and for your personal commitment to NATO, to the transatlantic Alliance.
We face the most challenging security environment in a generation.
Last year, President Putin sent hundreds of thousands of troops into Ukraine, causing death and destruction.
Ukraine has the right to liberate its own land.
And a counteroffensive is now underway.
The more land the Ukrainians are able to liberate, the stronger their hand will eventually be at the negotiating table.
We all want this war to end. But a just peace cannot mean freezing the conflict and accepting a deal dictated by Russia.
NATO is, as you said, no party to the conflict.
We stand by Ukraine in its right to self-defence, enshrined in the UN Charter.
And I commend Germany for its leading role in providing military, financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and the recent decision to deliver another 64 Patriot missiles to Ukraine.
