NATO\u00a0Secretary-General Jens\u00a0Stoltenberg\u00a0on Sunday encouraged U.S. lawmakers to continue funding Ukraine in its war against Russia, warning that Beijing and other authoritarian powers will be emboldened should Russian President Vladimir Putin succeed.<\/p>\n
Stoltenberg\u00a0appeared on “Fox News Sunday” and warned that Beijing is closely watching the allies\u2019 response to Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
“What matters is that Ukraine gets continued support because we need to realize that this is closely watched in Beijing,” he said.<\/p>\n
He argued that the U.S., Europe and other parts of the world will be made more vulnerable if Putin “gets what he wants in Ukraine.”<\/p>\n
