NATO Spokesperson Oana Lungescu, in response to the AA correspondent’s question, said, “Russia’s nuclear discourse is dangerous and irresponsible. NATO is on the alert. We are following the situation closely. We have not seen any change in Russia’s nuclear stance that would require us to change ours.” she used the phrase.
Noting that “Russia’s references about NATO’s nuclear sharing are misleading,” Lungescu emphasized that NATO allies comply with their international commitments.
“Russia has consistently violated its own arms control commitments by suspending its participation in the most recent New START Agreement. Russia must immediately comply with its commitments and act in good faith.” said.
NEW SANCTIONS FROM EU
EU High Representative for Foreign Relations and Security Policy Josep Borrell also reacted to Russia and Belarus by making a statement on social media.
