“In this context, NATO will continue to coordinate closely with relevant stakeholders, including international organizations, in particular the EU, as well as like-minded countries. Building on the support provided so far, we will help Ukraine now to strengthen its resilience, protect its people, and counter Russia’s disinformation campaigns and lies,” noted the NATO Foreign Ministers.
According to the Ministers, Russia bears full responsibility for this war, a flagrant violation of international law and the principles of the UN Charter.
“Russia’s aggression, including its persistent and unconscionable attacks on Ukrainian civilian and energy infrastructure is depriving millions of Ukrainians of basic human services. It has affected global food supplies, and endangered the world’s most vulnerable countries and peoples,” said Foreign Ministers of NATO.
Alliance members will also assist Ukraine in restoring its energy infrastructure and protecting its people from Russian missile attacks.
“We also remain resolute in supporting Ukraine’s long-term efforts on its path of post-war reconstruction and reforms, so that Ukraine can secure its free and democratic future, modernize its defense sector, strengthen long-term interoperability and deter future aggression. We will continue to strengthen our partnership with Ukraine as it advances its Euro-Atlantic aspirations,” concluded NATO Foreign Ministers.
