If Russia attacks NATO, response will be devastating - Rutte
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that if Russia attacks one of the Alliance's member states, the response will be "devastating."
He said this in an interview with Antena 3 CNN, writes Censor.NET.
The Secretary General emphasized that he does not believe Moscow intends to attack NATO countries because it "knows it cannot win."
"And if they do, they know that our response will be devastating... if Russia or anyone else attacks Romania, they know that Romania will be supported by all 31 other NATO countries, all of them will defend Romania with the collective capabilities of NATO, with all its naval, air, and land forces," he said.
At the same time, Rutte called on Alliance members to continue investing in defense "in order to remain as strong as ever."
- Recall that Rutte stated that even after the end of the war in Ukraine, the threat from Russia will not disappear, and the challenge from China will grow.
- German Lieutenant General Alexander Zolfrank also noted that Russia is capable of carrying out a limited attack on NATO territory at any moment, but the decision to act will depend on the behavior of Western allies.
