President Barack Obama said that the crisis in relations between NATO and Russia is not threatened in the future military conflict.
Obama said in a television interview: “I do not think there will be a military confrontation between Russia and NATO. We have made considerable efforts to ensure that our allies on the borders of the alliance, such as, for example, Estonia, that 5 th article of the North Atlantic treaty means exactly what it says: an armed attack against one or more NATO member states is seen as an attack on all, and assumes collective defense. If
at the NATO countries the problems begin, we come to the rescue. Only in this case will be a military confrontation. ”
Speaking about the crisis in Ukraine, in the same interview Sunday CBS, the American leader with aplomb argued that “Western sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation, the Ukrainian contribute to the settlement of the conflict.” According to him, “the agreement on Russian gas supplies to Ukraine, to establish a ceasefire in the Donbas, opening the way for a political solution to the Ukrainian crisis – all of which would be impossible if the timely intervention of the United States”, said NTV.
It should be noted that the future NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the return to the old format of relations between Russia and NATO is currently impossible to come – only confrontation. Also, not so long ago, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, speaking in Chattam House, said that Russia is fighting smarter and faster than NATO.
