Ukraine can win the war against Russia, NATO’s deputy secretary general said on Sunday, AzVision.az reports citing Anadolu Agency.

“The brutal invasion of Russia is losing momentum,” Mircea Geoana told reporters on the way to the second day of the informal meeting of NATO foreign affairs ministers in Berlin.

He said that NATO allies provided significant military, financial and humanitarian support to Ukraine.

“With the bravery of the Ukrainian people, army, and our help, Ukraine can win this war,” Geonana said.

Besides the latest development in Ukraine, NATO top diplomats will also talk about the long-term reform in preparation for the leaders’ summit to be held in June in Madrid, he added.

Geoana said that the Swedish and Finnish foreign ministers also came together with their NATO counterparts on Saturday to discuss the plans to join the alliance.

Calling the two countries “vibrant democracies” and “NATO’s closest partners,” he said he was “confident” that if the two countries decide to apply for membership, allies will find “conditions for consensus” and welcome them.

He asserted that the ministers had a “frank and constructive discussion” on the process.
