Ukraine is now "closer to NATO than ever before,” the military alliance's chief said on Wednesday as Britain claimed Putin's navy has been pushed back across the Black Sea.NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also stressed that Russia has amassed a large missile stockpile ahead of winter and had unleashed a wave of drone and missile strikes on Ukraine's power grid and energy infrastructure to try to leave it "in the dark and cold" in coming months.
Earlier, arriving at a Nato meeting in Brussels, Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron stressed that Britain was pushing to maintain the widespread support for Kyiv in its battle against Putin’s invasion and to “show that Russian aggression must never pay”.
