Update: Putin 'planning for a long war' in Ukraine: NATO chief (France 24)  

WNU Editor: NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is saying what this blog has been saying since September. The Kremlin made the decision (probably in August when the decision to call-up reserves was made) that this war is going to last a few years.

The question that should be asked is on NATO's commitment to send weapons and monies in the billions of dollars to Ukraine every month that may last for 2, 3 or more years.

Is the public willing to accept this commitment and sacrifice (i.e. high energy prices/inflation/shortages/etc.), and will the political still be there in 2024 or beyond? You tell me.
