Against the backdrop of Putin's threats: NATO was unable to agree on a plan of aggression of the Russian Federation - the media
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the ministers have reviewed plans for the first time since the end of the Cold War, the Ministers have revised Russia's invasion of Ukraine. One diplomat told the publication that Turkey blocked the solution through the formulation of geographical location, including Cyprus.
It is noted that the so -called regional plans cover thousands of pages of secret military plans, which will describe in detail how the Alliance will respond to Russia's attack, and the Alliance has not seen the need for large -scale defense plans for decades, as NATO waged smaller wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and felt that Some post -Soviet Russia no longer poses a threat to existence.
But given that the bloodiest war in Europe since 1945 rages directly behind its borders in Ukraine, the Alliance now warns that it must have all planning long before the conflict with such an opponent as Moscow can erupts. "Although regional plans have not been officially approved today, we expect these plans to become part of a series of results of the Vilnius Summit in July," the US High -ranking official said Reuters.
Until NATO can decide how to protect themselves, Putin is openly threatening that if Western F-16 fighters are in Ukraine. According to him, the F-16 will be destroyed in the same way as the German Leopard tanks. This statement was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (PMF). "There is a supply of [Western] military equipment, heavy equipment. A few tanks are destroyed. In particular, Leopard. They will burn. Also, the F-16 will burn.
There is no doubt," Putin said. The dictator also stressed that there is a serious danger of NATO's involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. If the F-16 aircraft is located behind the Ukrainian border, Russia will have to see what means the enemy uses against Moscow. It should be reminded that NATO stated that Ukraine will not receive an invitation to the Alliance during a summit in Vilnius, which will take place in July.
