DAVOS, January 16. /TASS/: NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has described the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine as extremely difficult for the Ukrainian army and called for not underestimating Russia.
"The situation on the battlefield is extremely difficult. The Russians are now pushing on many frontlines. And of course, the big offensive that the Ukrainians launched last summer didn't give all the results we all hoped for. And we see how Russia is now building up," he said at the World Economic Forum in Davos. "Russia is pushing hard. And this is serious and we should never underestimate Russia."
The World Economic Forum is a Swiss non-governmental organization that meets annually to discuss topical issues related to politics, economics and public life.
The 54th annual meeting of the WEF is taking place in Davos from January 15 to 19 under the theme "Rebuilding Trust." It brings together business executives, political leaders and experts from more than 120 countries (a total of 2,800 participants). The Russian side is not represented at the current meeting in Davos, as the organizers did not send it an invitation, just like in 2023.
