Brussels, Feb 24, (dpa/GNA) – Europe faces a new security reality after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said, confirming the alliance’s decision to activate defence plans in Eastern Europe.
“It will be a new Europe after the invasion we saw today,” Stoltenberg said at a press conference after a NATO emergency summit.
Stoltenberg said Russia was planning the “cold-blooded” invasion while NATO was pursuing a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis.
He warned that Russia’s attack on Ukraine will affect Moscow’s relationship with the NATO alliance.
