Reference News Network, December 12 report, according to the UK's Daily Telegraph website, December 11 report, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte warned on the 11th that the West is facing a war with Russia on a scale never seen since the era of "our grandparents and great-grandparents."
Rutte said that Russian President Putin has chosen NATO as his "next target," which is one of Rutte's strongest warnings yet about the possibility of the war spreading across all of Europe.
Rutte said in Berlin: "The conflict is right at our doorstep. Russia has brought war back to Europe, and we must be prepared to face a large-scale war comparable to what our grandparents or great-grandparents experienced."
He said: "We need to clearly recognize the threat. We are the next target of Russia, and we are already in danger."
Rutte made these comments as a week of intense diplomacy was coming to a close. Ukraine and its European allies have submitted a new peace proposal to the Trump administration in the United States, and it will be discussed this weekend in Paris.
It was reported on the 11th that relations among European leaders are becoming tense. According to reports, Italian Prime Minister Meloni is pressuring Kyiv to accept "painful" concessions, apparently representing the position of Washington. (Translation by Hu Wei)
