NATO praised Ukraine for its operations against Russian oil industry
NATO has praised Ukraine’s strikes on Russian oil infrastructure. John Stringer, Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of NATO’s Joint Forces, highlighted Ukraine’s ingenuity, innovation, and determination in carrying out such operations.
According to Censor.NET, he made these remarks in an interview with Euronews.
"This is hurting Putin. He thought he was going to roll in, establish a new security architecture in Europe that started in Ukraine in early 22, and he’s been sorely disabused on that one," Stringer said.
He also noted that Western allies should "salute" to Ukraine for its success in "striking a blow against Putin."
"What Ukraine has been able to do through imagination, innovation and will is quite incredible and we should salute it," Stringer added.
Background
Stringer also stated that only Ukraine has the right to decide the fate of its territories during negotiations with Russia. NATO also doubts that Moscow came to Abu Dhabi with a genuine desire to reach an agreement, rather than to repeat the demands it had made back in 2022.
