Facing War

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine rages on, US president Biden persuades Jens Stoltenberg to stay for one final year as Secretary General of NATO. The Norwegian’s contract has already been extended several times and he has promised his wife to come back home this time. But the situation in Ukraine is precarious. NATO is facing its biggest challenge since WW2. Stoltenberg commits to one final year. On a trip to Kyiv, he promises Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky that the alliance will stand by Ukraine ‘for as long as it takes’.

At this crucial time, support from the allied countries falters, leaving the prospect of peace in Ukraine and stability in Europe in question. Stoltenberg must navigate political tensions and conflicting agendas between the member states, and come up with a plan to help Ukraine. But it is not up to him alone to keep his promise – all NATO decisions must be unanimous. It’s the Sec Gen’s job to keep the family together.
