(ANSA) - BERLIN, DECEMBER 01 - "NATO is not a party to the conflict, we don't let ourselves be dragged into the conflict by Putin".
This was reiterated by the secretary general of the Atlantic Alliance Jens Stoltenberg tonight in Berlin, in a press conference with the chancellor Olaf Scholz, underlining that "the task" of NATO "is to support Ukraine and avoid an escalation, which goes beyond Ukraine".
"If Russia were to win the war, it would encourage other authoritarian regimes to use the same means to achieve their goals. And this would make the world more dangerous," he added.
