NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg believes that there is a real risk of a new military conflict in Europe due to the situation around Ukraine. He stated this today at a press conference in Romania.
“There is a real risk of a new military conflict in Europe, because the buildup of Russian forces (near the border with Ukraine – ed.) continues,” TASS quotes the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance.
According to him, “the numbers are growing, but time is running out.” “Therefore, we call on Russia to de-escalate and engage in dialogue with NATO,” Stoltenberg added.
He also did not rule out that a NATO combat group could be deployed on the territory of Romania on a long-term basis.
Meanwhile, the preparation of a new version of the national security strategy is delayed in the United States. One of the factors that affects the delay is the uncertainty due to the likely actions of Russia in relation to Ukraine. Several high-ranking officials told Politico about this.
By law, the President of the United States must annually update the national security strategy, RBC notes.
Recall that back in November-December 2021, the world media was filled with the topic of the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions that should follow. According to the authors and experts of these publications, a sign of “invasion” is the concentration of Russian military equipment in the regions bordering Ukraine. Among the likely sanctions were both the shutdown of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, as well as restrictions against Russian energy companies, and the shutdown of the SWIFT international interbank settlement system.
