BRUSSELS (Sputnik) - A long-term and sustainable peace in Ukraine can only be achieved through the supply of weapons, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday.
"This war may end up in a negotiating table, but we know that what happens around the negotiating table ... totally depends on the battlefield," Stoltenberg said ahead of the Munich Security Conference, adding that the only way to guarantee a lasting and just peace in Ukraine is to ensure military support.
NATO will continue to support Ukraine, the head said, noting "that is the message we are sending."
