“Even if the guns are silenced in Ukraine, we should not expect our relations with Russia to normalize,” he said.
Stoltenberg also stressed that the West “should not underestimate Russia”, which has “enormous resources” at its disposal.
Earlier it was reported that NATO on January 17 will transfer AWACS aircraft systems from Germany to Romania. The systems “will support NATO’s enhanced presence in the region and monitor Russia’s military activities,” the alliance said. The mission is designed for several weeks.
