"Ukraine has right to liberate its lands. Ukraine's counteroffensive is currently continuing," said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg as he made joint press statements with German Chancellor Scholz, APA reports.
"More victories for Ukraine on the battlefield will strengthen its hand at the negotiating table. We all want this war to end. But a just peace does not mean freezing the conflict and accepting an agreement dictated by Russia. NATO is not a party to this conflict. We stand by Ukraine to strengthen the right to self-defense, as stated in the UN Charter," Secretary General said.
