Senior NATO Official Says to Prepare For ‘Wartime Scenario’ as Britain and France Consider Deploying Troops in Ukraine
A senior NATO official has urged people to prepare for a “wartime scenario” as various European countries consider the deployment of troops to Ukraine.
The chair of NATO’s military committee, Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer, said in Brussels on Monday that businesses must be prepared for the worst as tensions with Russia continue to escalate.
“If we can make sure that all crucial services and goods can be delivered no matter what, then that is a key part of our deterrence,” Bauer said.
He continued:
We’re seeing that with the growing number of sabotage acts, and Europe has seen that with energy supply. We thought we had a deal with Gazprom, but we actually had a deal with Mr Putin. And the same goes for Chinese-owned infrastructure and goods. We actually have a deal with (Chinese President) Xi (Jinping).
