The Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Jens Stoltenberg, said during a press conference in Brussels that Russia’s use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine would indicate that an important line has been crossed.

“It will have severe consequences if Russia uses nuclear weapon, any kind of nuclear weapon against Ukraine. And this is something Russia knows, something NATO and NATO Allies have communicated in different ways to Russia. And we will not go into exactly how we will respond. But of course, this will fundamentally change the nature of the conflict. It will mean that a very important line has been crossed. Even any use of a smaller nuclear weapon will be a very serious thing, fundamentally changing the nature of the war in Ukraine. Of course, that will have consequences and Russia knows there will be consequences.”
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg also added that NATO was not a party to the conflict, but would support Ukraine so as long as necessary.
In addition, NATO will provide Ukraine with counter-drone equipment.
“We are also providing fuel, winter clothing and medical supplies as part of NATO’s Comprehensive Assistance Package. Under this package, NATO will shortly deliver counter-drone equipment to Ukraine. With hundreds of drone jammers, which can help render ineffective Russian and Iranian-made drones. And to protect Ukrainian people and critical infrastructure.”
