“They have shown a great willingness to tolerate losses and suffering,” Stoltenberg said.
“We have no indication that President Putin has changed his plans and goals in Ukraine. So it’s dangerous to underestimate Russia.”
On February 24, Russia invaded Ukraine, claiming that its goal was to “demilitarize and denazify” the country, according to Putin.
Putin has threatened to deploy nuclear weapons, endangering global security and peace if the West supports Ukraine in the conflict.
6,919 civilian deaths have been confirmed by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) since the war started.
