Putin miscalculated - NATO Secretary General
The Kremlin has no intention of stopping the war and continues to kill Ukrainian civilians.
The Kremlin has deliberately stepped up attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told WELT
Putin is trying to use winter as a weapon, but he will not succeed
Stoltenberg also stressed that the Russian invasion was not only affecting Ukraine, but also negatively affecting EU countries:
Rising food and energy bills mean hard times for many families in Europe. But we must remember that people in Ukraine are paying for it every day with their blood
Stoltenberg says Western countries should refocus their economies and reduce trade with "authoritarian regimes": he says this war has shown how dangerous it is to depend on Russia for gas:
Now we have to assess our dependence on authoritarian regimes, not least China. We need to manage risks, reduce vulnerabilities and increase the resilience of our critical infrastructure and supply chains
