NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that he does not see a direct threat from Russia and China – and for this the member countries of the alliance should be thanked. RIA Novosti reports.
“I am asked if I see a threat to NATO from Russia or China. Today I do not see any military threat or the prospect of a military attack on any NATO member. One of the reasons for this is that NATO If there is an attack, it will provoke a reaction from all allies. This is one of the main reasons thanks to which we have been able to keep the peace for more than 70 years, “the agency quotes Stoltenberg’s speech at a joint meeting of the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee and the Defense Subcommittee and security.
In February it was reported that the Pentagon considers Russia an undeniable threat to NATO. According to a source from the US military department, “the Russians are using military force to achieve their goals, they are wreaking havoc and doubt, and undermining international order.”
