Ukrainian war, Paniccia: “Should the war events precipitate, there could be a moment in which NATO would be called on the front line to respond to the Russian offensive”
The president of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, has convened the Supreme Defense Council, at the Quirinale palace, for today, 24 February 2022, at 16.30. This was announced by a note from the Presidency of the Republic. What does this move by the Head of State mean when considering Russia’s attack on Ukraine? Is there really the risk of a direct involvement in the conflict by NATO and therefore also by our country? Affaritaliani.it he asked Arduino Panicciapresident of the Venice School of Economic Warfare and International Competition (Asce).
“At this moment I believe that this type of possibility is still remote and I don’t think NATO has any intention of intervening directly in the war,” explains Paniccia. Who adds: “The real interlocutors in this phase of the conflict, considering the whole of what is happening, are the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the United States of America. NATO is seen today as the operational arm of the United States. If Putin were to take further decisions, widening the conflict, he would refer to the American presidency and NATO would be a side issue “.
Then, however, the president of Asce underlines: “Of course, should the war events precipitate, there could be a moment in which NATO would be called on the front line to respond to the Russian offensive, as Poland has been asking for a few hours. In that case the conflict would become generalized with a military response from the West and therefore also from the Italian armed forces. For some time we are still in the scenario in which we can still try to negotiate, which is different from a possible, subsequent, scenario of global war “, concludes Paniccia.
The military strategist Arduino Paniccia
NATO: we will not send troops to Ukraine – “There are no NATO troops in Ukraine at the moment, we have no plans or intentions to deploy NATO troops in Ukraine but we are increasing troops in the eastern part of the Alliance on NATO territory. Ukraine is a valuable partner , but we have no troops and we have no plans to send troops to Ukraine. ” This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
Stoltenberg, NATO defense plan activated – “In the next few days we will send further forces to the East flank where thousands of troops have already been sent. After the invasion of Russia by a non-allied country, today we activated the NATO defense plan, which gives greater authority to the commanders on the pitch. We are ready, but ours is a preventive Alliance, we don’t want a conflict “. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said this in a press point. “Russia has closed its doors to a diplomatic solution,” he added.
