Speech by Admiral Rob Bauer, Chair of the NATO Military Committee Berlin Security Conference
Yesterday, Ukraine surpassed day 1000 of what the Kremlin thought would be a 3-day full-scale war. As we all know, the war started long before that. Ukraine has bravely resisted attack upon attack upon attack for almost 4,000 days. And democracy still stands. In fact, it’s stronger than ever. The Ukrainians have proved to themselves and to the world there is NOTHING they can’t do. They CAN outlast, and they CAN out-suffer the Russians. Anyone who does not see that has not been paying attention. All they need is our help. And we have it within ourselves to continue and ramp up our support to Ukraine and at the same time ramp up our own deterrence and defence” – NATO Military Committee Chair, Admiral Rob Bauer.
