The Russian army attacks in several sectors, airports came under fire – Our news from the Ukrainian front on Wednesday

According to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Russia is stepping up its attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and is once again preparing to use winter as a weapon of war, so it is important that the alliance continues to support Ukraine.

He welcomed the announcement by Belgium and Denmark that they would deliver F-16 jets to Ukraine, and Canada’s donation of tens of millions of dollars worth of winter clothing and equipment. He also praised Germany’s one-billion-euro package, which focuses on the Patriot and IRIS-T air defense systems.

Stoltenberg said the allies had agreed on a program aimed at making Ukraine’s armed forces fully compatible with those of future NATO allies.

He confirmed that NATO would step up its support to help Ukraine weather another difficult winter. This includes appropriate clothing against cold weather, increasing demining capabilities, providing fuel and transporting medical equipment. This will help the brave Ukrainian forces to survive the cold, he said.

Stoltenberg also mentioned that Russia has announced that it is preparing a draft law to withdraw the nuclear test ban treaty. In his opinion, this shows that the Kremlin does not respect and continues to ignore its international commitments, and its recklessness threatens global norms against testing nuclear explosive devices.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to intimidate us with nuclear blackmail, using his nuclear rhetoric to prevent NATO allies from supporting Ukraine, but he will not succeed

he said.

He stated that NATO continues to monitor very closely what Moscow is doing in this area, but noted that the Atlantic alliance does not see any change in Russia’s nuclear behavior for the time being.
