The NATO chief said that while hundreds of thousands of troops were on alert in Europe, it was the alliance's responsibility to keep the situation from escalating beyond Ukraine.
Over the past two months, the 30 member alliance has sent thousands of extra troops to its eastern flank and activated NATO’s Response Force for the first time. Its members have also sent tons of ammunition and weaponry into Ukraine.Stoltenberg noted Wednesday as he arrived at the meeting that there are hundreds of thousands of forces on heightened alert across the alliance, including 100,000 U.S.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized the United States’ “ironclad” commitment to NATO’s Article 5, which requires members to go to the defense of any member that comes under attack. The NATO ministers will also discuss a number of concrete measures to reinforce allies’ security for the longer term. That could include deploying “substantially more forces in the eastern part of the alliance,” Stoltenberg noted on Tuesday in remarks ahead of the meeting, as well as increased air and naval deployments and strengthened air and missile defense systems.
