Russia will pay a very heavy economic & political price: NATO

25 February 2022, 5:21 pm

NATO has announced the deployment of ‘additional defensive land and air forces’ to the eastern part of the bloc and an increase in the readiness of all its forces ‘to respond to all contingencies,’ in light of the Russian military ‘operation’ in Ukraine, RT reported.

Russia’s actions pose a serious threat to Euro-Atlantic security, and they will have geostrategic consequences. NATO will continue to take all necessary measures to ensure the security and defence of all Allies, the alliance said on Thursday in a statement.

Following emergency consultations, the bloc decided to take additional steps to strengthen its deterrence and defence.

Our measures are and remain preventive, proportionate and non-escalatory, NATO said, as per the report.

The alliance called Russia’s military ‘operation’ a horrifying attack on Ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked and called upon Moscow to immediately cease the action.
