NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe John Stringer praised Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries, emphasizing that such attacks harm Putin.
He stated this in an interview with Euronews.
According to Stringer, Ukraine has demonstrated resourcefulness, innovation, and determination in conducting operations against Russian oil infrastructure. He emphasized that Western allies should give credit to the successes of the Ukrainian military.
“This is damaging to Putin. He thought he could invade and establish a new security architecture in Europe, starting with Ukraine in early 2022, but those illusions have been painfully shattered,” Stringer said.
He also noted the results of Ukrainian operations.
“What Ukraine has been able to achieve through imagination, innovation and will is truly incredible, and we must pay due tribute to it,” the NATO representative added.
At the same time, Stringer expressed doubts that Russia is truly ready to compromise at the talks in Abu Dhabi. According to him, there is not yet sufficient evidence that Putin has abandoned his previous demands.
He separately emphasized that the issue of the future of Ukrainian territories should be decided exclusively by Ukrainians themselves.
Recall, earlier , Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson supported Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries . According to him, such attacks limit Russia’s revenues, which it uses to finance the war.
