Ukraine’s forces are advancing in fighting with the Russian invasion forces, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at a joint press conference Thursday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. “Ukraine’s forces are engaged in heavy fighting, but they are making progress.
“Every meter Ukraine takes is one meter that Russia loses. We also see a great contrast between the combatants. Ukrainians are fighting for their country, their families, their future. Russia is fighting for imperial illusions,” Stoltenberg said. During the visit, Stoltenberg also stressed that Ukraine’s allies had succeeded in taking a major step towards supplying Ukraine with vital munitions. /ritzau/
