500,000 NATO soldiers are on high alert in all areas, the General Secretary of the Alliance G. Stoltenberg announced immediately after the rejection of the Russian ultimatum by V. Zelensky.
NATO fears a strike at one of 3 new bases announced today that will supply weapons to Ukraine. There is also the question of the bases of the Ukrainian F-16s and the mandatory supply of weapons to Kiev for the NATO member states announced by Stoltenberg.
Orban emphasized that the beginning of further involvement of NATO took place today with the creation of the NATO-Ukraine mission and the three new logistic support bases.
This means that officially NATO is now coordinating the transfer of arms to Ukraine.
In Wiesbaden, in an already existing US facility, the headquarters of NATO's operation to coordinate the delivery of arms and training activities for Ukraine will operate, announced the Secretary General of the Alliance Jens Stoltenberg.
Parts of the operation will still be based in logistical hubs in Poland and Romania, and will be headed by a Lieutenant General who will report to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe.
NATO will monitor the training of the Ukrainian armed forces and coordinate the offers of weapon systems by its allies and partners. It is estimated that a total of 700 soldiers will be stationed at the three new sites.
“They're setting up three big bases to move weapons into Ukraine. These will be on the territory of NATO countries, specifically Poland, Romania and Slovakia (did R. Fitso allow it?). We were not ready for something like this because we believe that these three bases will become a military target(!) from Russia. And anything can happen.
We don't want to be a part of that. 31 member states are pressuring us to move from the side of peace to the side of war," said V. Orban.
