According to this European official, the issue of Europe’s nuclear deterrent is currently in NATO’s hands. According to Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General rightly stated that it is still in the interest of the United States to provide this role significantly. If the United States of America is no longer a supplier of arms to Ukraine in the future, Europe should take this responsibility, Barley said. He said: “If this really happens, Europe must accept this responsibility.” He added: “We must take Putin’s threats seriously and act accordingly.” When Putin publicly doubts the territorial integrity of Poland and Lithuania, it shows how vigilant we must be.

Does that mean you are guilty? No, I do not support you. In fact, I encourage them to do whatever they want with you. You have to pay, you have to pay your bills.”
