The secretary general of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, announced today the “immediate” reinforcement of the collective defense of Alliance members with the deployment of resources by “land, sea and air ” in the countries of Eastern Europe, due to the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, he said.
“There will be more planes in the air, more boats on the water and more vehicles on land,” Rasmussen told a news conference after a meeting of the North Atlantic Council, where he stated that “a political solution is the only solution” to this crisis.
The North Atlantic Council, consisting of the ambassadors of the 28 allies, agreed to implement a package of measures to show “solidarity” between them and strengthen their collective defense, based on the recommendations prepared by the supreme commander of NATO Europe, U.S. General Philip Breedlove.
Rasmussen explained that such military measures include more outlets allied air patrols over the Baltic countries and the deployment of ships in the Baltic Sea and the eastern Mediterranean and elsewhere if necessary.
