Jens Stoltenberg, head of the world’s largest military organization NATO, has said that NATO was already aware of Russia’s attack on Ukraine. The NATO head said, “We had intelligence related to Russia’s plan, but still this attack was shocking.” Stoltenberg said that NATO could have tried more to stop Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Stoltenberg, who was the Prime Minister of Norway, said, “If NATO had not hesitated in giving weapons to Ukraine from the beginning, then perhaps the war would not have started. We were not able to decide on giving sniper rifles to Ukraine.” The NATO head said that since the war started, we have been continuously supplying weapons to Ukraine. But if we had done this earlier, the war could have been avoided. Then America did not want to give anti-tank missiles to Ukraine because they feared that Russia would get angry with this. ‘When Ukraine was attacked, it was the worst day of his tenure’ Stoltenberg said that when Russia attacked Ukraine on 24 February 2022, it was the worst day of his tenure as NATO head. The Ukraine war can only be stopped through dialogue and agreement. For this, it is necessary to talk to Russia, but during this time the interests of Ukraine cannot be ignored. Stoltenberg, who became NATO Secretary General in 2014, will complete his term in October this year. Former Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte will replace him as NATO head. The Secretary General in NATO is an international civil servant. He is the chairman of all important committees of NATO. He also has a role in important decisions of the organization. Apart from this, he also has the responsibility of the spokesperson of the organization and the head of the international staff. Ukraine wants to join NATO Ukrainian President Zelensky repeatedly demands to join NATO. He has said many times that Ukraine is ready to become a member of NATO. They are discussing this with the member countries. He also said that when there is no guarantee of security, there is only a guarantee of war. In fact, Germany, France and America are not ready to include Ukraine in the NATO organization during the war. These countries are worried that doing so will increase Russia’s anger. According to NATO’s Article 5, an attack on any of its member countries will be considered an attack on all NATO countries. NATO became the reason for the Russia-Ukraine dispute
