[HIGHLIGHTS] Putin spokesman threatens NATO: “At the level of direct confrontation”

Putin spokesman threatens NATO: “At the level of direct confrontation”. For the West, the alliance is a security guarantee, for Moscow it is an “instrument of confrontation’.

“We have moved from a post-war to a pre-war world,” British Defense Minister Grant Shapps wrote. Lithuania's Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis warned that "NATO's biggest battles could lie in the future" If the alliance does not prepare for this, it would be the “biggest mistake” in its history.
