Scholz: The US and the EU will resist attempts to drag NATO into the conflict in Ukraine. “We do not believe that we are at war with Russia and we are not seeking confrontation with it,” he said.

According to military expert, retired LPR lieutenant colonel Andrei Marochko, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have significantly reduced the use of NATO equipment due to muddy roads and a shortage of repair kits. Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev called statements by Western politicians about an alleged possible conflict between Russia and NATO extremely dangerous chatter.
