NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg briefing on the Russia's invasion of Ukraine:

-- Today North Atlantic council decided to activate its military band. Democracy will always prevail over autocracy. Freedom will always prevail over oppression.

-- NATO stands in solidarity with Ukraine. NATO allies are imposing severe costs on Russia for their reckless invasion of Ukraine. NATO allies in close coordination with EU and other partners all over the world are now imposing severe economic sanctions on Russia.

-- NATO condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the strongest terms. We call on Russia to immediately seize its military action and withdraw from Ukraine.

-- We've over 100 jets at high alert protecting our airspace and more than 120 allied ships at sea from north to the Mediterrarean. We will do whatever is necessary to shield the alliance from aggression.

-- NATO leaders will meet tomorrow to address the way forward. NATO allies have also, over a long period of time, provided practical support, military support to Ukraine and helped them to build a much stronger, better equipped & better-trained force today than Ukraine had in 2014.

-- An attack on one will be taken as an attack on all, this is NATO's collective security; will shield all allies from Russia no matter what.

-- So, we continue to stand together condemning the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Our allies also stand together in sending a message that we will never accept the brutal violation of international order.
