After Macron, the NATO secretary also provokes with his statements...
The Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, has come out with a surprising attitude. He has stated that NATO countries supplying Ukraine with weapons should allow Kiev's armed forces to use them to strike military targets in Russia.
The statement was made in an interview for "Economist". According to the British weekly, the leader of the Alliance refers specifically to the United States. " It is time for the allies to consider lifting some of the restrictions on the use of weapons that they have given to Ukraine ," he said in the interview, mentioning in particular the ongoing battles in the Kharkiv area. " The ban on the ability to use these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory makes it very difficult for them to defend themselves ," he explained.
But his attitude has provoked many reactions. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has stated that NATO acts with votes and there is no collegial position on such a thing.
" We are an integral part of NATO, but every decision must be taken collegially. Kyiv's elections are Kyiv's elections. We will not send an Italian soldier to Ukraine, and the military instruments sent by Italy are used inside Ukraine, we work for peace. The messages coming from Russia also cause a hybrid war going on, but we must always work for peace and lower our tones ," he said.
Stoltenberg's attitude has alarmed Moscow, which could not stay without reacting. " It is useful for those who have been invited to the alleged peace conference in Switzerland to know about the appeal of the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg ", wrote the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in a message on Telegram.
NATO has so far barred Kiev from attacking outside the territory to stop an escalation of the war, but Stoltenberg's stance indicates that a new phase of the war could begin. / Pamphlet
