German Air Force commander warned Putin against attacking NATO/Channel 24 collage
Russia will lose control in the Baltic Sea
Lieutenant General Ingo Gerharz, Commander of the German Air Force, made a corresponding statement . He urged Putin “not to mess with us” because the West will arm itself.
Ingo Gerharz drew attention to the presence of NATO troops in the Baltic Sea.
By 2030, Europeans will have 600 modern fighters in the Baltic Sea region. – said Lieutenant General of the German Air Force.
He also noted that there are American aircraft. In addition, Ingo Gerharz mentioned that the Alliance will be strengthened when Sweden and Finland join NATO. This may happen as early as the end of June at the NATO summit in Madrid.
Putin, who ostensibly cited NATO expansion as one of his reasons for invading Ukraine, will effectively lose control of the Baltic Sea. NATO will increase its presence in the Baltic Sea due to the entry of Sweden and Finland into the Alliance.
Let's add that Ingo Gerharz said that the military-political leadership of NATO member countries needs to be ready to use nuclear weapons in case of an emergency security threat.
A NATO country may close the sky over Ukraine
- Russia has repeatedly launched rocket attacks on the Lviv region near the borders of Poland, which is a member of NATO. Recently, ex-head of the National Security Bureau of Poland, Stanislav Kozei, said that Poland could take over air defense over the western regions of Ukraine.
- It should be recalled that Ukraine has asked NATO to close its airspace since the beginning of the war. However, the Alliance was categorically denied to Ukraine, because they feared a direct conflict with Russia.
- At the same time, Russia repeatedly issued threats against the West if Ukraine was provided with aircraft and heavy weapons. Moscow cynically blames the US and other European countries for the escalation of the conflict.
