Russia does not pose a direct threat to the NATO countries, but is trying to assert itself at the expense of Ukraine and Georgia.
This opinion was expressed by the secretary general of the North Atlantic Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, writes Le Point. He said that for this purpose the Russian Federation is sending its military power to neighboring countries.
Stoltenberg also emphasized the involvement of Russians in cyberattacks in Germany and Norway and the use of chemicals to kill people in the UK.
“I don’t see an immediate threat from Russia in the form of a military attack. But I see a Russia asserting itself. It uses its military power against its neighbors, Georgia and Ukraine,” he said.
Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine said that Ukraine hopes to become a full member of NATO in 2030. The deputy director of the department, Emine Dzhaparova, said that the provision of an Action Plan for membership in this organization would be a powerful impulse for our country on this path.
According to OBOZREVATEL, according to retired US Navy Captain 1st Rank Harry Tabakh, President Vladimir Putin started the war in Donbass in 2014 so that Ukraine would not be admitted to NATO.
He also believes that from a military point of view, our country does not need to be a member of NATO, as there are “enough allies today who will be in coalition with it.”
