Security Council of Russia: The conflict has escalated into a confrontation between Moscow and NATO

Yesterday, the Russian Security Council considered that the conflict in Ukraine has escalated into a confrontation between Russia and NATO, stressing that the West is seeking to dismember Russia, and the Security Council Secretary stressed that Russia needs a strong army to counter threats. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned last Thursday of the danger of underestimating Russia’s capabilities, stressing NATO’s need for more personnel, equipment and weapons for common defense. In a press interview, he said: Russia does not intend to abandon its goals in Ukraine and that there are signs that Moscow is preparing to launch a new large-scale ground offensive. The NATO Secretary General stressed that the terms of the agreement to resolve the conflict will depend on the situation on the battlefield, stressing the need to continue providing military assistance to Ukraine in order to convince Russia to sit down at the negotiating table and recognize Ukraine as an independent and sovereign European state.
