NATO Secretary General said about the danger of Russia’s victory in Ukraine

The success of the Russian special operation in Ukraine is supposedly capable of becoming a dangerous message for authoritarian leaders around the planet. This assumption was expressed by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during a visit to the Iruma military base of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. His words are quoted by the Reuters YouTube channel.

Thus, Stoltenberg said that a possible Russian victory in Ukraine would be a “tragedy for Ukrainians” and “a dangerous message for authoritarian leaders around the world.”

“If President Putin wins in Ukraine, it will be a tragedy for Ukrainians, and at the same time it will be a very dangerous message for authoritarian leaders around the world,” – says NATO Secretary General.

He added that the message is that if “authoritarian leaders use military force,” then they are supposedly “capable of achieving their own goals.”

Russian special operation to protect Donbass

The DPR and LPR announced the aggravation of the situation in the Donbass on February 17, 2022. Then they announced the evacuation of the population.

On February 21, the heads of the republics turned to Putin with a request to recognize their independence. The President held a meeting of the Security Council, after which he recognized the LNR and the DNR. Friendship and cooperation agreements were signed with both republics, which were later ratified by the State Duma and the Federation Council.

Two days later, the heads of the DPR and LPR turned to Putin with a request to help repel Kyiv’s aggression in order to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and civilian casualties. The next day, February 24, the Russian leader addressed the nation and announced the start of a special operation in Ukraine to protect Donbass.

On September 30, Putin and the heads of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions signed agreements on the entry of these regions into the Russian Federation.
