NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg: the alliance is preparing for Russia's attack on Ukraine military force from the Russian side and calls on Moscow and Minsk for more transparent military exercises. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at a press conference following the first day of the meeting of the alliance's foreign ministers, writes TASS.
“We have no clarity and confidence in what exactly are Russia's intentions with regard to Ukraine, which change over time. (…) NATO must be prepared for the scenario that Russia uses military force, and we are preparing for this, “the agency quoted Stoltenberg as saying.
” Now we see a lack of transparency, we see an extraordinary concentration of military forces and we see an aggravated and very aggressive rhetoric, “the politician continued in connection with the alleged accumulation of Russian troops near the borders of Ukraine.
Earlier on November 30, the United States offered to financially put pressure on Russia because of the alleged threat to Ukraine. < br />
