BRUSSELS -
"NATO is a defensive alliance, we do not seek conflict. But if the conflict comes from us we will be ready".
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said this as he entered the top of NATO foreign ministers.
NATO "is and will remain unity" and will act "with determination and speed", added Blinken, who participates together with the Allies at the summit of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels.
Also present at the meeting were the ministers of Sweden and Finland, the two countries that are still out of NATO but whose possible accession is one of the knots on the table of the crisis between the West and Russia.
Tonight's attack on the nuclear power plant
"demonstrates
the recklessness of this war
and the importance of Moscow withdrawing its troops".
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg
said this
before the summit of NATO foreign ministers.
"NATO is not a party to the conflict, it is not looking for it but will protect its Allies and is committed to defending the Alliance's east flank with more force," adds Stoltenberg before the summit of NATO foreign ministers.
The meeting, he explains, will serve "to coordinate a response to the brutal invasion of Ukraine and the long-term implications" of the conflict.
Russia is using "weapons strictly prohibited by the Geneva Convention, there are numerous civilian casualties. It is important to activate the Moscow mechanism and start a mission to investigate any war crimes committed in Ukraine".
This was stated
by the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell
arriving at the summit of NATO foreign ministers, warning that "everything is on the table".
Borrell, to those who ask him, on the sidelines of the summit of NATO foreign ministers, if the EU is also considering sanctions on Moscow's gas sales, says:
"This is the time to get up and make your voice heard. , it's time for transatlantic unity "
