TO The conflict in Ukraine could spiral out of control and escalate into a war between Russia and NATO, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview published yesterday and quoted by AP, BTA reported.
“If things go wrong, they can go terribly wrong.”
he tells the Norwegian Broadcasting Company. “It’s a terrible war in Ukraine. It’s also a war that could become an all-out war, which yes turn into a big war between NATO and Russia”he noted, but added that the alliance “works every day to avoid that.”
In the interview, Stoltenberg, former Norwegian prime minister, admits the possibility of an escalation of the war in Ukraine and underlines,
that it is important not to get into a conflict involving “multiple countries in Europe and which becomes a full-scale war in Europe”.
The Kremlin has repeatedly accused NATO allies of actually participating in the war,
while supplying Ukraine with weapons, training its soldiers and providing it with military intelligence. Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin hinted that Moscow could adopt what he called the US preemptive strike doctrine.
