NATO will help Ukraine protect itself from Russian missile attacks: the results of the first day of the summit in Bucharest
On Tuesday, November 29, NATO published a statement based on the results of the first day of the meeting of the ministers of the countries of the organization. In particular, the representatives of the countries agreed to strengthen support for Ukraine and help in defense against missile attacks.
Thus, the North Atlantic Organization condemned Russia’s brutality against the civilian population of Ukraine, as well as human rights violations, such as forced deportation, torture and barbaric treatment of women, children and persons in a vulnerable situation.
– All those responsible for war crimes, including sexual violence in conflict, must be held accountable. We also condemn everyone, including Belarus, who actively supports Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine, – the statement said.
The countries, as before, are firmly committed to the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
– We will never recognize the illegal annexations of Russia, which grossly violate the UN Charter. We will continue and further strengthen our political and practical support for Ukraine as it continues to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity and our shared values against Russian aggression, and we will continue our support as long as necessary, – the statement emphasized.
The ministers added that they remain committed to supporting Ukraine’s long-term efforts on its path to post-war recovery and reform so that the Ukrainian state can secure its free and democratic future, modernize its defense sector, strengthen long-term interoperability and deter future aggression.
– We will continue to strengthen our partnership with Ukraine as it advances its Euro-Atlantic aspirations, – the organization promised.
The allies emphasized that they are going to help Ukraine repair its energy infrastructure and protect its population from missile attacks.
– We confirm the decisions we made at the Bucharest Summit in 2008 and all subsequent decisions regarding Georgia and Ukraine, – the statement said separately.
NATO was reminded that this organization is a defense alliance that will continue to defend every inch of the territory of its member countries.
