NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said following an online meeting of the North Atlantic Alliance foreign ministers that the danger of conflict in Europe over the situation around Ukraine is real as Russia allegedly continues to build up its military forces on the Ukrainian border
“Russia’s military buildup continues. There is a real danger of conflict. Russia’s aggressive actions undermine security in Europe”, – he said.
The secretary-general believes that despite calls from the international community from bloc members over several weeks, Moscow “has not taken steps to de-escalate the situation”.
During the session, NATO foreign ministers “reaffirmed their unity in responding to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine,” the US mission to NATO said on Twitter.
