NATO chief warns of ‘civil unrest’ sparked by energy cuts and the price of living crisis as Putin’s invasion continues – but says it is vital the West stands with Ukraine

Vladimir Putin’s ‘energy blackmail’ over Europe could lead to ‘civil unrest’ this winter, the NATO Secretary General has warned.

Jens Stoltenberg acknowledged that winter ‘will be hard’ as ‘families and businesses feel the crunch of soaring energy prices and costs of living’ in the coming months.

Writing in the Financial Times, the boss of the Western security alliance said that it is worth paying the price to support Ukraine.

OH my yes. Poor people should make sure the NATO chief is well fed, warm and cozy.
