Stoltenberg stated that while NATO does not pose a danger to Russia, it is important to be prepared for the worst while remaining fully committed to achieving a diplomatic solution.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that the country must choose between a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict or face economic penalties from the West as well as an enhanced military presence of NATO forces in the alliance’s eastern member states.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the country has a choice: “They can either choose a diplomatic solution – and we’re ready to sit down – or they can choose conflict, and they’ll have to pay a bigger price.”
“There will be economic sanctions,” says the president. As a result, there will be a greater NATO military presence in eastern NATO countries, with the United Kingdom playing a particularly prominent role in this.”
