Stoltenberg: NATO preparing for Russian aggression
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday that NATO is “preparing for Russia’s aggression against Ukraine” in case the upcoming talks between Moscow and the alliance fail.
“We are ready for open and honest negotiations with Russia, but we also need to be prepared for diplomacy to fail,” Stoltenberg noted and stressed NATO will continue supporting Ukraine’s military capabilities. “The Russian military buildup has not stopped. It is gradually building up with artillery and electronic warfare equipment,” he added.
The NATO head insisted the alliance is “ready to engage in arms control with Russia” but noted any moves have to be “reciprocal.”
