Russia prepares its economy for a long war, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Saturday. \u201cBecause Russia is gearing its entire economy towards war, we also have to do more for our security,\u201d Stoltenberg said in an interview. Stressing that NATO is not looking for a war in Russia, he said: \u201cBut we have to prepare ourselves for a confrontation that could last decades.\u201d \u201cIf (Russian President Vladimir) Putin wins in Ukraine, there is no guarantee that Russian aggression will not spread to other countries,\u201d he said, adding that supporting Ukraine and investing to advance the alliance\u2019s military capabilities are the best defensive tools against Russia. \u201cWe need to restore and expand our industrial base more quickly so that we can increase deliveries to Ukraine and replenish our own stocks,\u201d the NATO secretary general said. \u201cThis means switching from slow production in times of peace to fast production, as is necessary in conflict,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
