The West sees China as continuing to provide significant diplomatic and political cover for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Putin's decision to launch the largest war on the European continent since 1945 has breathed new life into NATO. Stoltenberg calls it"the most serious security crisis in a generation."'s"impassioned message" to the alliance leader, Stoltenberg said NATO would provide more support, but noted he would not disclose when, what or how.
At the summit, the leaders agreed to form four additional battle groups in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, bringing the number of similar groupings of coalition troops to eight on NATO's eastern flank."From the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea," Stoltenberg said. These include the 100,000 U.S. troops already stationed across Europe.
Stoltenberg said NATO would place"substantially more" ground forces on the alliance's eastern flank, and"at a higher readiness." In the air and at sea, more jets as well as carrier strike groups, submarines and combat ships will be deployed"on a persistent basis," he concluded. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg addresses a press conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels on March 24, 2022. Stoltenberg sent a message to Beijing and asked the Chinese leadership to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and refrain from providing political, economic or military support to Moscow.
