“Russia continues its military build-up” around Ukraine – NATO Chief

Despite calls from NATO and its chief and leading Western countries for de-escalation, Russia continues to build up troops on Ukraine’s border, raising tensions.

Source: NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg during a press conference.

NATO Chief speech on Russia: “Tensions are rising. Russia continues its military build-up.

We also see more troops not only in and around Ukraine (in the occupied territories), but also now in Belarus, where Russia is deploying thousands of troops, hundreds of aircraft, S-400 anti-aircraft systems, and many other advanced capabilities. “.

This shows that there is no de-escalation. On the contrary, we are seeing more troops, more capabilities in more countries.

This makes it even more important to engage in political efforts to find a political solution. “
