Russia Calls German General's NATO Attack Comments Fear-Mongering
A top German general recently said that Russia could possibly attack a NATO country soon.
He mentioned that Russia has the ability to do this.
However, Russia's foreign ministry said this is not true and that the German general is just trying to scare people.
They believe his comments are based on fear rather than facts.
This is a disagreement between Russia and Germany about whether Russia is planning an attack.
Russia's Foreign Ministry called a German general's comments about a potential attack on NATO 'fear-mongering'.
Lieutenant General Alexander Sollfrank suggested Russia has the capability for a 'small-scale attack against NATO territory as early as tomorrow'.
Sollfrank stated a Russian decision to attack would depend on the Western allies' posture.
The comments were made in an interview with Reuters.
Russia's ministry dismissed these claims as baseless.
