[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) described Ukraine's successful counteroffensive against Russia as "encouraging." NATO assessed that Ukraine has demonstrated the capability to liberate occupied territories.

Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General, said in an interview with Foreign Policy released on the 15th (local time) that Ukraine's recent large-scale counteroffensive is "extremely encouraging" and "proved that the Ukrainian military has the ability to reclaim territories occupied by Russia."

Secretary General Stoltenberg explained, "This was not achieved by the Ukrainian military alone, but because NATO member countries have provided unprecedented and extraordinary weapons support over several months." He added, "Russia still occupies 20% of Ukrainian territory and maintains formidable military power, so NATO must continue to support Ukraine to prepare for a long-term conflict with Russia."
