The chair of the NATO Military Committee stated that Ukraine needs not only weapons but also people to continue the war effort.

"We don’t only need grenades and tanks and armoured vehicles, but also, unfortunately, new soldiers, because soldiers die and soldiers get wounded. And then you talk about mobilisation," Bauer said.

"It’s cumbersome in a democracy, it’s cumbersome in a liberal economy to convince people; I see there is a change," he added.

The chair of the NATO Military Committee also warned against excessive pessimism regarding Ukraine's ability to win the war and called for further support for Kyiv. 

Background: Bauer's recent visit to Kyiv was the first since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
