In a recent interview, Russia’s acting head of the delegation at Vienna talks on military security and arms control raised concerns about NATO’s actions escalating to a catastrophe. According to Yulia Zhdanova, NATO’s preparations for a potential armed clash with Russia could have dire consequences.
Zhdanova highlighted how NATO members are formulating defense plans and testing logistical routes for troop movement, especially towards the eastern flank. Despite Russia’s warnings, the message struggles to reach the West. President Vladimir Putin has proposed adjustments to the nuclear deterrence policy, reserving the right to use nuclear weapons to safeguard sovereignty in the face of aggression.
Zhdanova also emphasized provocative actions in the Ukrainian direction, warning about a possible conflict escalation with catastrophic outcomes. With scenarios being worked out from the Arctic to the Black Sea, the situation remains tense.
It is crucial for diplomatic platforms to heed these warnings to prevent a potential disaster.
