NATO said Thursday that it will now accelerate its transformation for “a more dangerous strategic reality.”
The military alliance issued a joint statement following the Extraordinary Summit of NATO Heads of State and Government in Brussels, Belgium.
“Russia’s war against Ukraine has shattered peace in Europe and is causing enormous human suffering and destruction,” it said.
The statement stressed that Russia’s war on Ukraine is condemned in the strongest possible terms.
“We call on (Russian) President (Vladimir) Putin to immediately stop this war and withdraw military forces from Ukraine, and call on Belarus to end its complicity, in line with the Aggression Against Ukraine Resolution adopted at the UN General Assembly of 2 March 2022,” it said.
It said Russia should comply with the March 16 ruling by the UN International Court of Justice and immediately stop military operations, underlining that Russia’s war on Ukraine threatens global security and its attack on international norms makes the world less safe.
