NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg condemned Russia's "reckless and unprovoked" attack on Ukraine. He said Alliance allies will meet to discuss Russia's aggressive actions, according to a statement posted on the NATO website.
"Once again, despite our repeated warnings and tireless diplomatic efforts, Russia has chosen the path of aggression against a sovereign and independent country. This is a serious violation of international law and a serious threat to Euro-Atlantic security. I call on Russia to immediately cease military action and to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. NATO allies will meet to address the consequences of Russia's aggressive actions. We stand together with the people of Ukraine in this terrible time. NATO will do whatever is necessary to protect all allies," he said.
