Born, Moscow continues to send troops to Ukraine – First Floor

(ANSA) – BRUSSELS, JAN 10 – “The increase of Russian forces on the borders of Ukraine, including heavy vehicles, continues. Today’s meeting of the NATO-Ukraine commission is an excellent opportunity to reiterate to Russia that, if he chooses the path of confrontation, there will be high political and economic costs “. This was stated by NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg during the press point with the deputy prime minister for European and Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine, Olga Stefanishyna. “It is unrealistic to think that this week’s meetings – namely the NATO-Russia summit on January 12 and the Russia-Osce meeting on 13 – can solve all the problems: the goal is to initiate a process that may avoid new military clashes in Europe !, Stoltenberg stressed. “Kiev – he added – has the right to defend itself and NATO supports the principle of self-determination of countries as regards the choice of alliances and security measures. We reiterate Bucharest’s decision but it is up to Kiev and the 30 NATO countries to decide when Ukraine is ready to join the Alliance. (HANDLE).
