“Not even NATO can give a precise answer. The answer is that it can take longer, less. We anticipate in the coming months a Ukrainian counter-offensive based on the training that the Ukrainian troops received from the NATO countries, training, new equipment, fresh forces. Because beyond training, they also need a break, because a year of war means a lot. This does not mean that the Russian Federation does not remain a danger”, said Geoană.ves that the coming months will be more intense from a military point of view.
“Maybe after six months we will have a slightly clearer picture, depending on the answer to this question, which is the real ratio of forces on the battlefield, to have a more precise answer, how long it will take”, he added Geoana. The deputy general secretary of NATO emphasized that he does not want to give optimistic signals regarding the end of the war in Ukraine. “I don’t want to give too optimistic signals either. We believe that this war will continue. We are also trying to help the Ukrainians, we are trying to shorten the war, because in the end peace is what we all want,” Geoană said.
