The attack on the nuclear power zone demonstrates the “recklessness” of the war started by Moscow and the need to end it, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said today, attending the extraordinary meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers in Brussels.

“We condemn the attacks on civilians,” Stoltenberg said, noting that NATO foreign ministers are meeting regularly today to exchange views on the response to the “brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine and its long-term consequences.” “.

Regarding the attack on the nuclear power zone, Stoltenberg said: “This demonstrates the recklessness of this war and the importance of ending it, as well as the importance of withdrawing all Russian troops and the need to commit to diplomatic efforts in good faith. “.

Stoltenberg said NATO allies have imposed unprecedented sanctions and are providing support to Ukraine. He also stressed that “NATO is not part of the conflict – NATO is a defense alliance – we do not seek a military conflict with Russia.” At the same time, however, NATO must defend and protect its Allies and has therefore increased its presence in the eastern part of the alliance, the Secretary-General said, welcoming the strong US commitment to mobilize more troops. and that the European Allies and Canada are strengthening their presence in the eastern part of the Alliance, on land, sea and air.
