Quick Read
Stoltenberg said Russia has a choice between a diplomatic solution for which NATO members are ready to sit down or confrontation which will attract a higher price
NATO Secretary-General on Thursday said Russia must choose between a diplomatic solution to the crisis over Ukraine or face economic sanction from the West.
Jens Stoltenberg made the statement at a joint news conference with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Brussels.
Stoltenberg added that Russia would also face an increased military presence of NATO forces in the alliance’s eastern countries.
“Russia has a choice: they can either choose a diplomatic solution and we’re ready to sit down, but if they choose confrontation, they will pay a higher price.
“There will be economic sanctions. There will be an increased NATO military presence in the eastern part of the alliance, and the U.K. is really an important part of that.’’
