Details: Stoltenberg said that Russia seeks to undermine the foundations of the international security system by ignoring, violating or abandoning a large part of the network of global arms control agreements that keep the world safe.
Quote: “These are irresponsible actions aimed at keeping NATO allies from supporting Ukraine. However, they will not succeed. Because as long as we take Russia’s threats seriously, we will not be intimidated,” the NATO Secretary General said.
Details: He pointed out that Russia has suspended its participation in the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, does not comply with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, and is increasing its provocative nuclear rhetoric, threatening to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
“Russia is the most immediate threat to our security,” Stoltenberg added.
Background: Russian President Vladimir Putin said that tactical nuclear weapons would be deployed in Belarus by July and compared his own nuclear plans to the US deployment of its weapons in Europe. He stressed that Russia would not violate its non-proliferation pledge.
