Chief of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) Jens Stoltenberg held a news conference earlier today.
Nato’s chief says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is the biggest security crisis in a generation” and that Nato will stand united with Ukraine to keep their alliance strong and their people safe.
Stoltenberg says Nato has agreed to strengthen their defences by moving 40,000 troops to its eastern flank in response to Russia’s invasion
He confirmed that four new battlegroups will be sent to Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania
Stoltenberg also said cyber defences are being strengthened and Nato will also help Ukraine defend itself against “biological, chemical, radiological and nuclear threats”
He says the use of chemical weapons “will totally change the nature of the conflict, it will be a blatant violation of international law and it will have widespread consequences”
