BERLIN, Feb ‌14 (Reuters) - ​Russia ​is suffering "crazy losses" in Ukraine, ‌tallying around 65,000 soldiers ⁠over the last two ‌months, NATO Secretary ‌General Mark Rutte said on Saturday at ​the Munich Security Conference.

Separately, he ⁠told a media roundtable that the ​NATO alliance was strong enough that Russia ​would not ‌currently try to attack it.

"We will ⁠win every fight with Russia if they ⁠attack us now, and ​we have to make sure in two, four, six ‌years that same is still the ‌case," he ⁠said.
