NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Tuesday that, despite Russia’s threats about nuclear weapons, the alliance sees no need to change its nuclear weapons alert level, APA reports citing WLOX.
The alliance’s secretary-general, Jens Stoltenberg, spoke to The Associated Press following talks on European security with Polish President Andrzej Duda at an air base in Lask, central Poland, where NATO’s Polish and U.S. fighter jets F-15 and F-16 are based.
“We will always do what is needed to protect and defend our allies, but we don’t think there is any need now to change the alert levels of NATO’s nuclear forces,” Stoltenberg said.
