“Peace in Our Continent has been Shattered” – NATO Vows to Defend Its Entire Territory After Russian Attack on Ukraine

NATO vows to defend its entire territory after Russia attacks Ukraine. 

The head of NATO, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, responded to questions regarding the situation in Ukraine.  The AP reported:

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned Thursday that the military alliance would defend every inch of its territory should Russia attack a member country, as he slammed Moscow for launching a brutal act of war on Ukraine.

Russia launched a wide-ranging attack on its neighbor, hitting cities and bases with airstrikes or shelling. Ukraine’s government said Russian tanks and troops rolled across the border and accused Moscow of unleashing a “full-scale war.”

Speaking after chairing an emergency meeting of NATO envoys, Stoltenberg said the 30-nation security alliance will continue to beef up its defenses on its eastern flank near Ukraine and Russia. He said U.S. President Joe Biden and his NATO counterparts will hold an online summit on Friday.

“Russia has attacked Ukraine. This is a brutal act of war. Our thoughts are with the brave people of Ukraine,” Stoltenberg told reporters. “Peace in our continent has been shattered. We now have war in Europe, on a scale and of a type we thought belong to history.”

Here is a portion of his remarks.

(Note that Ukraine is not currently a member of NATO.)
