NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that it’s impossible to know when the war in Ukraine will end — but that the world should be prepared for fighting that continues for years. Stoltenberg’s forecast, in an interview published Saturday in Germany’s Bild newspaper, comes as the United States and its allies are. After a visit to Kyiv, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it is critical to maintain visible support for Ukraine, even as “Ukraine fatigue is setting in.
Russian morale “highly likely remains especially troubled,” Britain’s Defense Ministry said Sunday. Russian commanders in eastern Ukraine continue to face dissent from troops, with whole units refusing orders in some cases and armed standoffs happening between officers and soldiers. Ukrainian forces have probably suffered desertions in recent weeks, according to the assessment.
