NATO Chief: 'No Country Should Support Russia's Illegal War'

NATO Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday that no country should support Russia's "illegal war" and NATO would continue to help Ukraine defend itself.

Stoltenberg said NATO countries would help Ukraine rebuild its gas and power infrastructure and deliver air defence systems.

"I'm absolutely certain that President Putin will not succeed; that the Ukrainian people, the Ukrainian armed forces, the Ukrainian leadership will not bend, but will just mobilise even more in fighting back," he said, speaking in Bucharest.

Stoltenberg's remarks came as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his NATO counterparts gathered in Romania to drum up urgently needed support for Ukraine aimed at ensuring that Moscow fails to defeat the country as it bombards energy infrastructure.
