The former supreme commander of NATO’s European Defense Forces, retired General Wesley Clark, has called on the United States and other Western countries to «mobilize» part of their industry in order to provide Ukraine with as many weapons as it needs as long as the war with Russia continues.
«We need to move to the partial mobilization of our industrial base», defended this decorated American general, who emphasized the need for Ukraine’s allies to realistically evaluate the supplies and needs that will be demanded as the conflict continues.
In this regard, Clark pointed out that Ukraine needs not only complex Patriot missile defense systems, but also tanks, artillery, long-range missiles, or Switchblade 600 kamikaze drones, Ukrinform reports.
On the other hand, the former NATO commander also stressed the need to speed up the process of setting up an international tribunal to try those responsible for the Kremlin in this war, citing the example of the special court set up to sentence the former Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic.
«In my experience as Commander-in-Chief, when Slobodan Milosevic had to be indicted, there were those in the White House who said, ‘oh, no, that might complicate things,’ however it didn’t,» Clark recalled. «That is why it is now necessary to indict Putin and all his generals for war crimes,» he said.
