NATO Secretary General: We do not know Russia's intentions, but we know that it has already attacked Ukraine
The use of violence against Ukraine comes at a cost and can lead to dire consequences. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg began to express himself in this vein, having toughened his rhetoric when discussing Russia's actions.
This is reported by the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine.
The Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance expressed concern about the exercises of Russian troops "near the borders of Ukraine" and the alleged cases of Moscow's hacker attacks against it. These issues will be high on the agenda of the meeting of NATO foreign ministers to be held in Riga.
Stoltenberg mentioned a large number of armored vehicles, drones, artillery and soldiers, which Russia pulled to the Ukrainian borders, threatening Kyiv. And all this force, says the head of the alliance, is in a state of full combat readiness. The NATO Secretary General did not mention where exactly this armored vehicle is located (in Yelnya? ..).
Stoltenberg said he does not claim that Putin intends to attack, but does not rule out such a possibility.
- said the Secretary General of NATO.
Stoltenberg understands the attack as the events in Crimea in 2014, as well as the war in Donbass, in which he also sees the “hand of Moscow”.
Of course, the perpetrators of the conflict in Donbass must be punished, and, someday, perhaps, this will happen. True, the head of NATO should have looked for them not in Moscow, but in Kiev.
