The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe "urges all member states to recognize the full extent of the threat posed by Russia's attacks against them and to take coordinated and effective measures in response." The request is contained in a resolution voted unanimously. Five dead, including a child, and 14 injured: this is the toll from the latest air raids conducted by the Russian armed forces in Ukraine. Russia has written to NATO to denounce the exercises aimed at simulating the "isolation" of Kaliningrad, warning that it is ready to use "the entire arsenal" to defend its exclave, including nuclear weapons. NATO responded by denouncing "threats" from Moscow.

"There is no imminent threat to NATO territory." This was assured by the Secretary General of the Alliance Mark Rutte, interviewed during a conference organized by Euronews in Brussels. "If there were to be an accumulation of forces - he continues - we will notice it and know how to deal with it. If anything else were to happen, we will also be able to manage that situation, since we have prepared and trained precisely for this." "We are - he assures - perfectly prepared, both with regards to hybrid threats and for any other possible scenario. However, we must remain clear-headed: Russia is in difficulty in Ukraine, and this is precisely the crucial point." "Every minute we dedicate to this topic - he continues - is exactly what Vladimir Putin would like: to see us agitated and wondering what is happening here or there". Let's keep calm. We are stronger. Let's move forward. Let's continue to invest. And, above all, let's make sure that Ukraine has what it needs to continue fighting. They need support, in particular air defense systems, but also of every other available resource", he concludes.
European countries that have enough "interceptors" in their arsenals should send them to Ukraine. This was underlined by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, interviewed during a conference organized by Euronews in Brussels. "For next winter and for the weeks and months to come - he says - they simply need more interceptors. Please provide everything you can still offer: it's about saving human lives. Our Supreme Allied Commander is also urging European countries that still have these Patriot interceptors to donate everything they can." For Rutte "it is crucial to keep Ukraine strong at the moment. However, Ukraine's situation has not worsened compared to some time ago; on the contrary, they are achieving better results, both on the front and in strike operations deep into Russian territory, compared to just six months ago."
