NATO ‘Not Party to Ukraine Conflict’ — Secretary General Stoltenberg
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told German outlet Die Welt on Wednesday that the US-led organization is not a party to the conflict in Ukraine and insisted it had no plans to be.
He claimed that NATO was not sending troops or aircraft to Kiev and was within its rights to help Ukraine protect its borders under the UN charter.
Boosting a military presence on Europe’s eastern flank, Stoltenberg added, would make Moscow understand NATO’s determination to defend the bloc’s territory.
