Stoltenberg: It is important to agree with Russia that there will be no attack on Ukraine
NATO Secretary General at a joint press conference with the German Chancellor said that the negotiation process with Russia must be continued. According to Jens Stoltenberg, "there is a mutual interest in continuing the dialogue, searching for common ground."
Stoltenberg:
The Secretary General of the Western military bloc said that he also sent an invitation to all the governments of the member countries of the alliance, so that delegations would be formed there for a possible future meeting with the Russian side. No word yet on where such a meeting could take place.
According to Stoltenberg, it is important to agree with Russia that there will be no attack on Ukraine.
Stoltenberg:
At the same time, the NATO Secretary General once again announced the alliance's "open door" policy, adding that there are no clauses in the charter prohibiting the entry of the alliance to specific countries. However, Stoltenberg again did not name a specific date for granting Ukraine the MAP - an action plan for NATO membership.
At the same press conference, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated the importance of dialogue with Russia, noting that "for the whole of Europe, it will be an extremely positive moment for Russia to withdraw its troops from the borders of Ukraine."
Recall that earlier Russia was called upon to withdraw the Iskander-M OTRK from the Kaliningrad region. Moscow refused, recalling that the Kaliningrad region is the territory of Russia, and on its territory Russia can place weapons where it sees fit.
