NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte described the threats that came from Russia, and mentioned the importance of alliance preparedness for possible attacks on Estonia in the future.
NATO secretary of Mark Rutte, Mark Rutte, said Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is currently intentional to attack Estonia. At the same time, he did not exclude that this could happen in 5-7 years. On Saturday, July 5, Rutte said The New York Times.
During the conversation, the host reminds him of the material to The New Yorker, Who spoke of military exercises in Estonia have been fixed to prove his army’s readiness for possible invasion of Russia. Against this background, Rutta was asked if these teachings had been a signal for remembrance.
“No. described in The New Yorker It matches the truth, but for us it has not been a sign of anxiety, as we already have all the necessary plans for attacking Estonia – and the Russians know it. Our answer is crushed, ”the general secretary emphasized.
He noted that he could not reveal the details because he was convinced that Putin was watching these programs. At the same time, he emphasized that “we need” not only such plans, but also to ensure their implementation – due to the availability of military personnel and equipment. That is why, according to Rutta, “it is necessary to increase defense costs.”
Rutte explained that Putin has not yet contacted Estonia, as it will protect all NATO’s powers with the United States. However, in the future, such a threat is possible.
“It’s not about the fact that Estonians are left in one. All NATO’s powers are involved, with full support from the United States that will be saved. Putin knows. That’s why he won’t attack Estonia now. But he can do it for five or seven years if we don’t carry out all the necessary investment,” he said.
When Rutte was asked if she was sure the United States would defend Estonia, who was given that President Donald Trump did not provide a clear guarantee of European protection, he replied yes.
“One hundred percent. I have no doubt, and it is perfectly clear at the final meeting of The Hague. In addition, all I have spoken to in the new US administration for the past six months has not left a single indication of uncertainty: the United States has been fully given to NATO and fully support the fifth article,” Rutte said.
The US Air Force General Aleksus Ginkevich has officially became the new commander -in -Chief of the United Armed Forces of Nato in Europe (Saceur), replacing the US Army General Christopher Kavoli.
