By KYIV. Dec 25 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Former NATO Commander-in-chief, retired Admiral James Stavridis has called on the U.S. Congress to increase military assistance in view of the expected difficult winter conditions, The Hill reports.
“I’m worried about the war in Ukraine only if the U.S. and our European allies fail to live up to the commitment we’ve made to support Ukraine,” Stavridis told the edition on Sunday.
According to him, Ukrainians are bracing for a tough winter, as military operations slow down, troops are forced to preserve ammunition and Russia’s attacks continue to hit energy infrastructure.
“It’s a very dangerous situation and here, the real action is actually not in Kyiv. The real action is in Washington,” Stavridis said.
“We’ve got to provide the military support to Ukraine. Their cause is just,” he stressed.
