NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reiterated that the Alliance focuses on the conflict in Ukraine not beyond the limits of this country. He said this during an interview with NBC TV channel.
“Our responsibility is to support Ukraine, as we make many different ways, as well as to ensure that this conflict does not come out of control or will not go beyond Ukraine,” the Secretary said .
In connection with this purpose, Stoltenberg indicated, NATO significantly increased the military presence on the eastern flank of the Alliance, “on the sea and in the air”, and doubled the presence of its combat groups in the Baltic States.
Stoltenberg stressed that it supports Ukraine, but now it is important that this conflict does not “full-scale war between NATO and Russia”, since, according to him, it will lead “to much more damage, destruction and deaths than Now in Ukraine. “
“Escalating beyond Ukraine will receive a very hard answer from the entire alliance,” the Secretary-General indicated.
