Philip Imundi The news of the crash of a Russian military plane hit European newspapers almost as a surprise, given the secrecy surrounding Russian data on the conflict with Ukraine and the tendency to disguise it to distort the reality of what has been happening since 2022. Now, however, the alarm seems to be rising.
The Russian threat to NATO: the risk of conflict increases
Putin continues his campaign against Ukraine's allies , particularly NATO, which Ukraine would like to join and then enter the European Union.
The Russian leader is aware of Zelensky's support and is therefore using every opportunity to launch threats in an attempt to force NATO to back down, pushing it to openly enter the conflict.
The latest in chronological order speaks of an increased risk of conflict following the events in eastern Russia. NATO responded by explaining that it is ready to defend every inch of its borders.
A tit-for-tat exchange aimed at nipping any attempt at a direct confrontation in the bud.
Russian military plane crashes, 6 dead
The real news concerns a Russian military plane that crashed in the Armour region . There were seven Russian soldiers on board, six of whom died and one was injured.
The plane in question, a Tu-95, was reportedly not carrying any weapons and crashed into an uninhabited building.
This type of aircraft is used in the conflict against Ukraine for the transport and launch of missiles and also because it is said to be capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
On the issue, NATO explained that these attempts are a sign of Russia's desperation and that NATO itself is ready to defend its borders, even using force if necessary.
Certainly, tensions are spreading beyond the war zone, and this is not a good sign for the balance of power between Europe and Russia.
