“We must not weaken in our support of Ukraine, even if the costs are high -- not only in terms of military support but also because of rising energy and food prices,” the secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said.

“The food and fuel costs are nothing compared to the one paid daily by Ukrainians on the frontline. We would have to pay an even greater price if Russian President Vladimir Putin were to achieve Moscow’s goals in Ukraine,” he added. (ILKHA)
