Describing what Moscow calls a “special military operation” as an attack on the existing world order, Stoltenberg said the alliance must prevent a potential expansion of the war.
“This is the most dangerous situation in Europe since the Second World War“, he emphasized.
“If President (Vladimir) Putin even thinks about doing to a NATO country something similar to what he did to Georgia, Moldova or Ukraine, then the whole of NATO will be immediately involvedStoltenberg said.
“This is not just an attack on Ukraine, an independent democratic country with a population of more than 40 million people, it is also an attack on our values ​​and the world order we want“, said the head of NATO, speaking about the war.
