<p>Mr Stoltenberg made the remarks on Friday in the Estonian capital where he was joined by EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen to commemorate the Baltic country’s independence day.</p>
<p>Ms Von der Leyen said Mr Putin has failed to achieve any of his strategic goals and that Russia is becoming increasingly isolated, citing Thursday’s UN General Assembly vote approving a nonbinding resolution that calls for Russia to end hostilities in Ukraine and withdraw its forces.</p>
<p>Mr Stoltenberg also said that he has invited Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy to attend a Nato summit in Lithuania in July, expressing hope that the Ukrainian leader can attend in person.</p>

Nato will hold a summit in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, from July 11th-13th.</p>
<p>Mr Stoltenberg’s comments came as Mr Zelenskiy thanked Germany for its support in the first year of Russia’s invasion and said his country can “end Russian aggression this year”.</p>
<p>Mr Zelenskiy spoke in a video message to a memorial event in Berlin Friday led by German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier and attended by Germany’s top politicians and the Ukrainian ambassador.</p>
<p>Mr Zelenskiy, who spoke through an interpreter, said that “now is the time when, with our courage and our weapons, we can restore peace and create a historically important safeguard against every aggression”.</p>
<p>Mr Steinmeier led a minute of silence for the victims of the war. He said that “Germany is not at war, but this war concerns us … Russia’s war of aggression has wrecked the European security order”.</p>
<p>He pledged that Kyiv can rely on Germany.</p>
<p>The German parliament on Friday replaced one of the German flags on top of its Reichstag building – which usually has three German flags and one European Union flag – with a Ukrainian flag. A Ukrainian flag was also raised outside the chancellery.</p>
<p>In Poland, Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said that “preventive barriers” are being put up along the country’s borders with Russia and Belarus.</p>
<p>Mr Blaszczak posted on Twitter on Friday that the barriers were elements of a “strategy of defence and deterrence”.</p>
