NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said this at the Crimea conference.
"Putin thought he could bring down Ukraine and its armed forces and divide the international community but he was wrong. Ukraine suffered six months of harsh war but resisted aggression, regained territories and imposed costs on Russia," he added. .
