Stoltenberg: ‘No indication’ Russia is preparing military action against Nato

A deadly blast in Poland that sparked fears of a dramatic escalation in Vladimir Putin’s war likely caused by a Ukrainian air defence missile, Nato’s secretary-general said on Wednesday.

However Jens Stoltenberg said Russia was ultimately responsible because it started the war.

“An investigation into this incident is ongoing and we need to await its outcome. But we have no indication that this was the result of a deliberate attack and we have no indication that Russia is preparing offensive military actions against Nato,” he told reporters.
