Former President Barack Obama said in a speech at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit on Friday that the war in Ukraine is “far from over.”
“Make no mistake, this war is far from over. The costs will continue to mount,” Obama said. “The costs will continue to mount, the course of events … are hard to predict.”
US and NATO officials have been warning that the Western powers should be prepared to support Ukraine in its war against Russia for a long time.

Geoana said that as part of NATO plans, the alliance is working on a “state of the art, permanent” presence in Eastern Europe. At an upcoming NATO summit in Madrid scheduled for later this month, Geoana said alliance leaders will be working on a “fundamental transformation of NATO’s posture, presence and deterrence” in the region, which will include “more of a presence on the ground.”
