"NATO Chief Urges Preparedness Amid Escalating Ukraine-Russia Conflict"

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has issued a vague warning, stating that the Western military alliance should "be prepared for bad news" in the Ukraine-Russia war as the winter months approach. Stoltenberg emphasized the need to support Ukraine in both good and bad times, while acknowledging the lack of progress in moving the front lines. He called on NATO allies to put aside national interests and increase ammunition production. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also acknowledged the new phase of the war and the challenges posed by winter. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered an increase in the number of troops, citing the ongoing military operation in Ukraine and the expansion of NATO as reasons for the army's expansion.
