The NATO secretary general released a statement saying “I have convened an extraordinary meeting of Allied Heads of State and Government on 24 March 2022 at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.” The meeting will address the consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, NATO’s strong support for Ukraine, and further strengthening NATO’s deterrence and defence in response to a new reality for our security. “At this critical time, North America and Europe must continue to stand together in NATO.” He said.
