NATO is deploying units of the rapid reaction NATO Response Force (NRF) on land, at sea, and in the air, to respond quickly to any contingency, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.
He did not initially state where the troops would be deployed, in comments that followed a video conference with NATO leaders. Ground troops could be sent to Romania, dpa has learned.
Meanwhile, NRF units are due to head to Norway, for an exercise, in the first deployment of parts of the NRF in the course of deterrence and defence of the alliance area, Stoltenberg said.
The NATO members said the measures were “preventive, proportionate and non-escalatory” in a statement.
