It is not too late for Ukraine to win the war against Russia, provided the West they will keep their promises to provide it with more weapons, the head of NATO pointed out today Jens Stoltenberg.

“In recent months, NATO allies have not provided the support” they had promised, Jens Stoltenberg said in a speech at an awards ceremony in Berlin for transatlantic relations.

“But it is not too late for Ukraine to win, as stronger support is on the way,” the NATO secretary general added.

“It is now our responsibility to turn the commitments” (recently given by the West, s.s.) into actual deliveries of arms and ammunition, and to do so quickly,” he stressed.

Jens Stoltenberg, however, welcomed the approval by Congress of a major US military aid package to Ukraine amounting to more than $60 billion, as well as pledges to the same end made by other countries, including Britain, Germany and the Netherlands .

At the same time, he criticized China, accusing Beijing of “supporting Russia’s war economy” with cutting-edge technologies that can be used to produce missiles, tanks and planes.

“China says it wants to maintain good relations with the West. At the same time, Beijing continues to fuel the biggest armed conflict in Europe since World War II,” he said.

“They can’t have the butter either and money for butter,” said Stoltenberg, who was awarded the Eric Warburg Prize in Berlin, which honors personalities who have worked particularly hard for transatlantic relations.

Berlin and Beijing have traditionally had close economic ties, with German companies investing heavily in China and heavily exporting goods to the world’s second-largest economy.
