Without direct NATO intervention, it will not be possible to end the war in Ukraine, according to the former commander of the Alliance forces in Europe Wesley Clark. It is reported by the Voice of America.
“The idea that the Secretary General of Jens Stoltenberg is now defending and who finds support from other members of the Alliance is that NATO may not interfere if they are not directly attacking – this idea remained in the 90s. The time has come for it. To learn lessons. NATO should intervene. Let’s officially recognize this and order the Russians to cease fire, ”said Clark.
According to retired Army General, the Alliance must either “go beyond the outlined framework or stop its activities.”
“In the 90s, the United States developed a plan according to which NATO forces and 25,000 American troops were introduced into Yugoslavia. We turned to the British, French, Germans, Russians and Turks. They took it. We stopped the war. The time has come for the time Return to the lessons that we have learned: let’s announce the beginning of NATO intervention, ”said Clark.
