Ruthe: Russia is not a direct threat to any NATO member

According to Isna, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said at the event “To prevent war, NATO must spend more” that he does not see a direct threat from Russia to any of the members of this alliance, but he called for the strengthening of NATO’s defense.

“I want to be clear: There is no clear imminent threat to our 32 allies because NATO is changing to keep us safe,” Rutte said.

He added: “It’s time to switch to a wartime mindset and increase our defense production and defense costs.”
