EXCERPT:

STOLTENBERG: “The Russian people must know: ‎that the Kremlin’s war on Ukraine will not make Russia more secure. ‎It will not make Russia more respected in the world. ‎It will not lead to a better future for your children. In response to Russia’s massive military build-up over the past months, ‎we have already strengthened our deterrence and defense. Yesterday, NATO Allies activated our defense plans. And as a result, we are deploying elements of the NATO Response Force. ‎On land, at sea, and in the air. ‎To further strengthen our posture. ‎And to respond quickly to any contingency.”
