Russia-Ukraine war could last for years, say western leaders

"Nato secretary general says Kyiv will need long-term military support as Russia masses reserves outside Sievierodonetsk"

“We must prepare for the fact that it could take years,” Nato’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, said

"The British prime minister, Boris Johnson, echoed Stoltenberg’s comments. “I am afraid that we need to steel ourselves for a long war,” he said, adding that it was necessary “to enlist time on Ukraine’s side”"

"It came as the new head of the British army said British troops must prepare “to fight in Europe once again”. “There is now a burning imperative to forge an army capable of fighting alongside our allies and defeating Russia in battle,” Gen Sir Patrick Sanders said, writing to his charges about the challenges they face."

(I'm gonna tell you something, you'd better be ready for a nuclear war if that's the route this is going to take. Putin has flat out said "stay out" or he will use nukes and to think that he wont would flat out be a big mistake. He was "all-in" well before he decided to invade and he will do whatever it takes to crumble the world financial order which is what this has been all about from the get go. And "NOW" there is a burning imperative? Seems like that time was a lil while ago if that's what the UK, the US or NATO was going to do. At the first sign of foreign intervention he will not hesitate to show you what he is capable of and he already told you what he would do numerous time over already.)

"Ukraine has been calling for a large influx of western weaponry so that it can try to push back the Russian invaders, but what has been offered so far is less than Kyiv has requested. The US, UK and Germany have promised to send 10 rocket artillery systems, but Ukrainian advisers have called for 60 or even 300."

(So why are we not giving them to them becomes the question. My thinking is we fear what Putin would do in response to such a move or we would have done so already. Either that or we know this conflict is a lost cause and we are just trying to project it in as much of a positive light as possible, either way, they are not getting the weapons they need, why?)

"The problems could extend beyond Ukraine, he said, arguing that Europe could face another wave of immigrants from African and Middle Eastern countries previously reliant on grain exports from Ukraine if the war continued to disrupt maritime exports.

"Stoltenberg said the price of long-term support for Ukraine was justified, despite the cost of military equipment and rising energy and food prices, because the west would pay a much higher price if Vladimir Putin were to succeed and Russian forces occupied large parts of Ukraine."

(He kinda already is)

Johnson, writing in the Sunday Times, said the supply of weapons had to continue, and that it would be necessary to “preserve the viability of the Ukrainian state” by providing financial support “to pay wages, run schools, deliver aid and begin reconstruction”.

(Yeah well good luck with that, we aren't even gonna be able to do that much longer here at the current rate of decline. And that was Boris Johnson, UK prime minister, but its the same exact situation. I said when certain EU countries and energy companies decided to pay for Russian energy in Rubles, that was it, the west was done. Rubles for gas: Who’s paid so far? )

"The German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, conceded in an interview that his country had “concentrated our energy supply too much on Russia” to the point that it was not possible to change course “if the worst came to the worst”.'

(Yeah well guess what, never should have done "Business" with them to start with and Somebody knew the situation you were gonna be in ahead of time.

How in the world did leaders not see that this was going to be what would happen? It's just dumbfounding.)

I love you baby.
