Ukraine in Arabic | Jens Stoltenberg : NATO warns about risk of resumption of heavy fighting in Donbas
Kiev/ Ukraine in Arabic/ NATO is concerned about the risk of resumption of heavy fighting in the east of Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Wednesday while opening a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Commission.
"Violations of the ceasefire are still taking place, and there is a risk of the resumption of heavy fighting. Russia continues to support the militants, providing training, weapons and soldiers. A large number of its troops are stationed on the border with Ukraine," Stoltenberg said.
"I urge all parties to do this. In this regard, Russia has a special responsibility," he said.
In addition, Stoltenberg once again said that the alliance was committed to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
According to Stoltenberg, this is the reason why NATO wants to help Ukraine to reform its armed forces and security institutions. "But Ukraine also needs to do its job. The reforms are very important," he added.
