NATO: the Alliance need more rapid reaction force in the European Union
Ukrainian crisis demonstrates that NATO is necessary for more rapid reaction force in the European Union, said Deputy Supreme commander of allied forces in the European Union, British General Adrian Bradshaw.
" If they (Russia) will host several thousand soldiers near the border with a country that is a member of NATO, as they did at the Ukrainian border in order coercion, the member state of the Commonwealth must know that NATO can provide the necessary military presence on its territory to compensate for this pressure as necessary ", - said the General. Along with this, Bradshaw noticed that now NATO has no grounds to believe that the Russian Federation intends to pressure of this kind in any of the countries in the Alliance, ITAR-TASS reported." We do not say that they intended to do this, We do not say that there is evidence that they consider such actions of the countries-members of NATO, showed Bradshaw.- However, We are talking about the fact, that in this case we need to have forces that are in the proper degree of readiness ".
