NATO will deploy more combat troops in Eastern Europe
2022-03-24
NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg said on the 23rd that NATO will significantly increase the combat forces deployed in its east wing, and reiterated that Ukraine's accession to NATO "is not on the agenda". NATO will hold a special summit on the 24th to discuss the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Stoltenberg said at a press conference on the 23rd that he hoped that Member States would agree to enhance NATO's strength in all fields of land, sea and air. NATO plans to deploy four new combat clusters in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia. Together with the existing forces deployed in the Baltic States and Poland, NATO will have eight multinational combat clusters on its east wing, from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. Stoltenberg said that at present, hundreds of thousands of NATO troops are in a high state of combat readiness, mainly deployed in the east wing of NATO. These forces are supported by air and sea forces, including five aircraft carrier strike groups in northern Europe and the Mediterranean. Stoltenberg said that Ukraine's accession to NATO is not on the agenda, but its support for Ukraine will be one of the main issues to be solved at the NATO summit on the 24th. (Xinhua News Agency)
