No Western society is ready for a prolonged conflict of such scale and intensity as the one in Ukraine, Business Insider quoted Brigadier Atle Molde, who commands the Norwegian grouping responsible for training Ukrainian military personnel, as saying.

“We are not prepared. No Western country's prepared,” Molde said. According to him, this is one of the main lessons from the conflict in Ukraine for Norway and other Western states.

Norwegian military officials believe that the protracted combat operations demonstrated the need to prepare in advance not only the armed forces, but also the government, industry, and society as a whole. Small countries should be particularly worried about the prospect of a war of attrition, which is accompanied by significant losses and the need to constantly replenish stocks of weapons and personnel.
