Details
During the NATO summit in Washington, a senior NATO official said that russia will be able to sustain life in a war economy for at least 3-4 years, so Ukraine's allies should focus on what they will have to provide for Kyiv in the long term.
We must be prepared to continue to support Ukraine even after 2025. We all understand very well, and as we have been saying for a long time, this is not a conflict that is likely to end soon. It will require years of focused efforts
Assessing russia's ability to accept the government's decision to shift the economy to a war footing, the NATO official noted that the long-term consequences will be tangible and significant for the russian economy. But for now, Russian society is ready for the way of life offered to it.

The senior NATO official also commented on NATO's intentions to support Ukraine. In particular, the establishment of a command post in Wiesbaden, Germany. According to him, along with defense and industrial commitments, this provides a stable source of support for Ukraine.
It's a coordination mechanism to make sure that Ukraine gets what it needs, when it needs it, and to provide some accountability, because we all know that there is a long list of promises, and what actually appears on the battlefield is often different from what is announced
Recall
NATO leaders are meeting for an anniversary summit in Washington, D.C., with the top priority of supporting Ukraine's defense against russian invasion, to coordinate aid and provide more ammunition, air defense equipment and other assistance.
American congressmen expect that at the summit, the allies will agree to allow Ukraine to use Western weapons to strike inside russia, including its energy infrastructure and oil and gas fields, to stop the Kremlin's military machine.
