Nato said on Thursday it would take new deterrence and defence steps after Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine, which would include putting over 100 warplanes on high alert and further increase the presence of troops on its eastern flank. Nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said there would be a virtual emergency summit on Friday.
“Peace on our continent has been shattered,” he said. “Russia is using force to try to rewrite history, and deny Ukraine its free and independent path. ” Ukraine is not a member and Stoltenberg said there were no Nato troops in the country. “We have no plans to send Nato troops in Ukraine. What we do is defensive. ”
The new measures planned by Nato would enable it to deploy capabilities and forces, including the Nato Response Force, to eastern European nations.
