An excellent visit to @NATO_AIRCOM last week, including productive discussion with COM AIRCOM and the teams behind #NATO’s mindset shift from air policing to air defence, and the operationalisation of space. Thank you for your dedication and hospitality.

[NATO Spokesperson @NATOpress]

NATO’s commitment to defend every inch of Allied territory demands that we consistently adapt to an evolving security landscape. As a direct result of Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine, we’ve seen more incidents with drones along our eastern flank – both in the air and at sea. NATO is working closely with our Allies to ensure we continue to address this challenge efficiently and effectively, including through discussions today in the North Atlantic Council focused on security along the Black Sea

We visited Lukianivka, Kyiv 🇺🇦 where we witnessed the devastation caused by Russian drone and missile strikes only a few days ago

Visiting Kyiv with all 32 #NATO Ambassadors, our message is crystal clear: NATO’s support for #Ukraine is unshaken

[Mark Rutte @SecGenNATO]

Important visit to Ukraine 🇺🇦 today - the first time a NATO-Ukraine Council meeting takes place in Kyiv – a strong message of the enduring bond between NATO and Ukraine

I also met with my friend @Zelenskyyua

#NATO stands with you today and we will stand with you throughout the challenges ahead

[Mark Rutte @SecGenNATO]

I just spoke with President @NicusorDanRO of Romania about the Russian drone that hit a residential building in Galati. I assured him of NATO’s absolute solidarity with Romania and expressed sympathy for those injured in the incident. I affirmed that NATO stands ready to defend every inch of Allied territory. We will continue to enhance our readiness to deter and defend against any threat, including from drones.

Russia’s reckless behaviour is a danger to us all. They continue to target civilians and civilian infrastructure across Ukraine. And last night showed yet again that the implications of their illegal war of aggression don’t stop at the border.

Russia’s war needs to end, as does Russia’s disregard for civilian safety. For our part, we will continue to strengthen our deterrence and defence at home and continue our support for Ukraine as they defend against Russia’s aggression.

[NATO Spokesperson @NATOpress]

Early this morning, an apartment building in Romania was struck by a drone as Russia attacked Ukrainian infrastructure near the border. @SecGenNATO is in touch with Romanian authorities. We condemn Russia’s recklessness, and NATO will continue to strengthen our defences against all threats, including drones
