EU leader urges NATO to move troops to eastern front

According to Interfax-Ukraine, Gitanas Nauseda said on Tuesday that Western countries need to develop a clear plan of action to deal with the “loss of balance in the region” and the increasing number of Russian troops on the border with Ukraine.

“NATO should respond not only by concentrating its troops on the eastern front but also to strengthen its military capabilities. Strengthening military capabilities is good, but we also must have an algorithm of what to do if there is scenario A, scenario B, scenario C,” Nauseda explained.

He added that NATO should begin to discuss the security of the region as a whole, not just individual countries, in order to be able to develop a “broad response” at an Eastern European level in the event of a confrontation with Russia.

“So that we are not just discussing the Ukrainian, Polish or Lithuanian situation separately. But that it should be a discussion of regional security,” the president stressed.

Nauseda’s call for more NATO manpower to be stationed in Eastern Europe follows a security-guarantees proposal pitched by Moscow to the US-led military bloc last week when Russia demanded that Brussels stop putting troops and military equipment near its border.

Moscow’s draft document with the legally binding security guarantees was proposed after a video summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Joe Biden, which focused on the accusations that Moscow is massing troops on the frontier with Ukraine. Following suggestions by multiple Western media outlets that a conflict is around the corner, NATO has ramped up its rhetoric, threatening Russia with punishing sanctions.

The Kremlin has repeatedly denied reports of an imminent offensive.
