The Allied Resolve exercise was supposed to end on February 20, but Russia and Belarus decided to “continue to check the troops.”
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the continuation of military exercises between Russia and Belarus speaks in favor of the version of the preparation of an invasion of Ukraine. On Sunday, February 20, he said in an interview with the TV channel CBS.
“Last week, Russia said it would withdraw troops. But Russia is pushing more troops and even closer to the border with Ukraine. In addition, the exercises, which they said were supposed to end today, will now continue. All this fits into the picture that Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine,” he said.
Stoltenberg also noted that the Alliance is ready to hold a new meeting of the Russia-NATO Council.
“The main thing is to prevent a new armed attack on Ukraine, and therefore we support all the efforts of NATO allies to find a political solution, and NATO is also ready to hold a meeting of the Russia-NATO Council,” he said.
Former President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky at the Munich Conference appealed to NATO member countries. The president demanded a clear answer regarding Ukraine’s accession to the Alliance.
