NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday that Russia has launched war on Ukraine and shattered peace on the European continent.
Stoltenberg called for a summit of NATO leaders for Friday. He spoke shortly after the trans-Atlantic alliance agreed after emergency talks to further beef up its land, sea and air forces on its eastern flank near Ukraine and Russia.
“Russia has attacked Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said. “This is a brutal act of war. Our thoughts are with the brave people of Ukraine.”
