“We are Russia’s next target”

NATO Secretary General said that war will “come to every home” of those living in Europe

Too many people think that time is on our side. This is wrong. Russia has brought the war back to Europe and will be ready to attack NATO within five years. She became even more arrogant and reckless. We are Russia's next target and we are already in danger. The conflict is already at our door. He will come to every home. In terms of scale, it can be comparable to what our grandfathers and great-grandfathers experienced. This tragedy can be prevented: act faster, invest in defense, continue to support Ukraine. If you love German and don't want to speak Russian, this is extremely important - otherwise Putin will not stop in Ukraine. I stopped trying to understand what was in his head a long time ago. I look at the facts: there is a dictator willing to sacrifice 1.1 million of his own citizens - because of a crazy idea about some historical goal. We must be ready.

This is a brief retelling of the speech of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the security conference in Berlin. Based on materials from The Guardian .
