Until recently, Jens Stoltenberg used to call the Russian attack "unprovoked". But he knew otherwise. In February 2023, Stoltenberg said, in a Nato speech:
"The other thing I will say is that the war didn't start in February last year. The war started in 2014. And since 2014, NATO Allies have provided support to Ukraine, with training, with equipment, so the Ukrainian Armed Forces were much stronger in 2022, than they were in 2020, and 2014. And of course, that made a huge difference when President Putin decided to attack Ukraine."
This is especially relevant now. The recent Russian assaults in Ukraine are obvious retaliations.
