I did not think that there would be a dispute with Russia
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that since 2014, NATO member countries increased the amount of money set aside for war expenses and increased the number of military personnel deployed in Eastern Europe because there was hope that a conflict with Russia would one day arise.
General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg addressed journalists at the end of the NATO General Conference and accused Russia of using force through other parties in the eastern Donbas province since 2014.
“The reality is that we have been preparing for war between Russia and Ukraine since 2014, and we have developed our military strength since 2014 in anticipation of this,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said while addressing journalists.
