It is in this scenario that after the Russian military attack on Ukraine as a precaution, it was decided to strengthen the Eufor contingent, the EU military mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina, by sending an additional 500 men.
Vladimir Putin Stoltenberg reiterated his no of the Alliance to the establishment of a No Fly Zone. An act that would represent to all intents and purposes a NATO entry into the conflict with – as underlined by the Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio – “devastating effects on Europe”.

Putin said in the Scholz interview that an agreement with Kiev is possible only” if all Russian requests “are met.” I hope Kiev is reasonable “Putin added warning those who do he opposes Russia’s actions in Ukraine “not to exacerbate the situation” by imposing further sanctions on his country.
