‘THE FRONT LINE HAS NOT MOVED’: As NATO foreign ministers gather in Brussels, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is urging allies and partners not to lose heart even as months of fierce fighting have failed to produce significant territorial gains for Ukraine.

“Yes, the front line has not moved so much, and of course, we would like them to liberate as much territory as possible as quickly as possible,” Stoltenberg said ahead of today’s ministerial at NATO headquarters. “But even though the front line has not moved, the Ukrainians have been able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian invaders, both measured in personnel and casualties but also in taking out fighting capabilities.”
