Feb 13,2023:NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg says Russia’s feared new offensive in Ukraine has already started, with Moscow deploying more troops and weapons for its war effort.
Ukraine’s energy minister says the country’s power system is meeting people’s “electricity needs” despite the latest wave of Russian attacks on critical infrastructure.
NATO’s secretary-general says a feared new major Russian offensive in Ukraine has already started.
“We see no sign whatsoever that [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin is preparing for peace … What we see is president Putin and Russia still wanting to control Ukraine,” Jens Stoltenberg told reporters at a news conference in Brussels.
“We see how they are sending more troops, more weapons, more capabilities,” he added. “The reality is that we are seeing the start [of a new offensive] already.”
Moldova’s president has accused Russia of planning to use foreign saboteurs to bring down her country’s leadership, stop it joining the European Union and use it in the war against Ukraine.
