Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned that Ukraine and its supporters faced a tough winter over coming months but urged the public in western nations to keep faith in their efforts, saying the war was at a critical point as Russia lost some territory.

“We need at least to be prepared for this winter, because there is no sign of Russia giving up its goal of taking control of Ukraine,” Mr Stoltenberg told The Associated Press (AP).
