"Today is the 813th (!) day of what Russia believed to be a 3-day war. Ukraine has demonstrated to the world that it is capable of achieving unprecedented success on the battlefield. There is nothing they can't do. All they need... is our help," Bauer said. - Fortunately, help is on the way. And it couldn't be more timely. Because time in Ukraine is not measured in days, weeks or months. It is measured in human lives.
"In the allied countries, a week is a week. In Ukraine, a week is a mother... a father... a child... a friend... a loved one... lost forever," Bauer emphasized.
He emphasized that "Ukraine will have our support every single day." "And as you, Mr. Secretary General, rightly stated: it is not too late for Ukraine to win. Ukraine's freedom cannot, must not and will not die. And Allies, if faced with a choice between achieving NATO's capability goals or standing by Ukraine... should stand by Ukraine. Stockpiles can and will be replenished. Lives lost are lost forever," Bauer summarized.
He also said that a new format of the NATO-Ukraine Council was scheduled to be held today with the Ukrainian military leadership via a secure line of communication, where the Allies will be briefed on the current situation in Ukraine. The parties will discuss "our continued support for Ukraine in this monumental struggle.
