NATO Plans Permanent Military Presence at Border, says Stoltenberg
The Telegraph UK 10 APR 2022
April 9 (Reuters) - NATO is working on plans for a permanent military presence on its border in an effort to battle future Russian aggression, citing NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.
NATO was "in the midst of a very fundamental transformation" that will reflect "the long-term consequences" of Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions, Stoltenberg said in an interview with the newspaper.
"What we see now is a new reality, a new normal for European security. Therefore, we have now asked our military commanders to provide options for what we call a reset, a longer-term adaptation of NATO," it cited Stoltenberg as saying.
Stoltenberg, who recently said he would extend his term as head of the alliance by a year, also said in the interview that decisions on the reset would be made at a NATO summit to be held in Madrid in June.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War Two and led Western nations to rethink their defense policies.
