NATO does not want a war with Russia, but if it starts, it is ready to defend "every inch" of its territory, British Defense Secretary Wes Streeting said at a press conference in Warsaw. "We must be prepared for a scenario where Britain and the NATO alliance find themselves at war with Russia. Not because we want war - we have no conflict with the Russian people, and we do not aspire to war with Russia. NATO is a defensive alliance," he said. According to Rehovot, the more allied countries are prepared to confront Russia and "defend every inch of NATO territory", the less likely such a scenario is. Russia rejects claims that it is seeking to attack NATO. Vladimir Putin stated that the country "has no reason" to fight with the allied countries. RBC channel at max.
