NATO military officer advises leaders and partners to prepare for unexpected in Ukraine

Ukraine is in a big fight to stay alive in their war with Russia. NATO says that Western armies and leaders need to change how they help Ukraine defend against invading forces.

During a meeting of the 31 countries in NATO, the leader of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, said that President Vladimir Putin is afraid of democracy and that’s why he started a war.

According to report, in a two-day upcoming meeting in Brussels, NATO’s top leaders will discuss plans for the largest military exercises in Europe since the Cold War. These exercises are scheduled to take place later this year. NATO’s wargames show how strong they are and that they will protect their allies from any attack.

As the war gets stuck and funding for Ukraine’s economy is delayed because of political fighting, Bauer asked for everyone to work together to solve the problem, not just the military.

“We need everyone to change how they think from planning and controlling everything to being ready for anything at any time. ” “Get ready for anything,” he said as he started the meeting.

Bauer said that NATO needs to change how it fights wars in order to be better in the future.

On Monday, the UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said that the government will send 20,000 soldiers to join NATO military exercises called “Steadfast Defender. ” Many of them will go to eastern Europe from February to June.

The UK will send fast fighter jets and planes that can watch and spy on things, along with big boats that fight in wars and submarines.

Allies are sending military supplies to Ukraine, which is causing a shortage of ammunition. The Norwegian government is giving 2 billion kroner to make more ammunition because there is a high demand for it.

Norway’s Defense Minister Bjorn Arild Gram said that it’s important to make the defense industry stronger to help Ukraine and protect our own safety.

Half of the money will be given to a company called Nammo, which is in Norway and makes stuff for the military like bullets and rockets. The Prime Minister wants them to make more bullets.

In Brussels, Bauer said NATO will keep helping Ukraine for a long time.

“Today marks the 693rd day of a war that Russia thought would only last three days. ” “We will continue to support Ukraine every day because the result of this war will affect the whole world,” he said.

Bauer added that the war is not about Russia being threatened by Ukraine or NATO. This war is about Russia being afraid of something much stronger than any weapon — democracy. If people in Ukraine can have freedom to choose their leaders, then people in Russia will want the same.
