Stoltenberg: No plans to send NATO forces to Ukraine

On Sunday, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg confirmed that NATO has no plans to send troops to Ukraine if Russia invades the country.

Instead, the alliance plans to focus on supporting Ukraine in other ways, Stoltenberg explained in an interview with the BBC on Sunday.

He pointed out that there is a difference between NATO members and a “highly valued partner,” such as Ukraine.

The United States and European countries have repeatedly threatened new economic sanctions against Russia if Russian forces were to invade Ukraine. 

The western countries have not considered the possibility of taking part in a possible war on the Ukrainian side, NTB reports.
