05/01/2023 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday, 5 January, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated, “Weapons are—in fact—the way to peace” in Ukraine. “[M]ost wars end at the negotiating table. Most likely this one too. What Ukrainians can achieve at the table depends on their strength on the battlefield. So, if we want a negotiated peace solution, where Ukraine survives as an independent democratic country in Europe, the fastest way to get there is to support Ukraine”, he stressed in a speech. He added that the security situation in Europe had permanently changed and that, even if the war ended, the problems in [NATO’s] relations with Russia would persist, given Russia’s position of constant conflict with the West.
