NATO Deputy-General Secretary Mircea Geoana says that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s month-old “barbaric war” against Ukraine is a war he cannot win.
FILE - NATO Deputy General Secretary attends the NATO Foreign Ministers meeting in Riga, Latvia, Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2021. NATO's deputy general secretary has said in an interview with The Associated Press that Russian President Vladimir Putins month-old barbaric war against Ukraine is a war he cannot win.
But the brutal war that Russia has waged since Feb. 24, is having the opposite effect to what Putin hoped for, the NATO official said, and has only united the West and worked to bolster the 30-nation defensive alliance. If the “very poorly planned and executed” military campaign continues to drag on for Putin’s forces, who many observers say are floundering on the battlefield, Geoana believes that it could raise the stakes for miscalculations by the Russian leader.“We see that for the time being, the Russian military planning is trying to reassess the situation — to try to compensate for the massive losses in people and material that they suffered in the first month of the war.
