BY A STAFF REPORTER: NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said nato must be prepared for a long standoff with Russia beyond the immediate crisis caused by Russian President Vladimir Putin's one-year-old invasion of Ukraine. Moscow's war against its pro-Western neighbour has pushed Europe into its most dangerous crisis since World War II and pushed NATO towards the biggest reform in its defense system since the collapse of the Soviet Union. "President Putin wants a different Europe, a Europe where he can control his neighbors, where he can decide what countries can do," Stoltenberg said. "We have to be prepared for the long term, it can last many years. "
