In an interview on December 9, the leader of NATO expressed concern that the Ukraine conflict could escalate into a full-scale war between Russia and NATO.
The Ukrainian conflict is horrific. The conflict “has the potential to become a full-scale war that escalates into a major war between NATO and Russia,” he added. Every day, we make efforts to ensure that this does not occur.
The Russian government asserts that its NATO allies actively support Ukraine’s military offensive against Russia by providing weapons, training Ukrainian troops, and providing military intelligence.
In light of rising tensions between Russia and the West, President Putin stated that Russia may consider employing the American concept of a preemptive strike.
