The US Secretary of State spoke at a special briefing about the upcoming meetings. He said representatives of the European Union, NATO and the G7 are meeting in Brussels to discuss developments in Ukraine.

“Tomorrow, I’ll travel to Brussels, where I’ll meet with our NATO, European Union, and G7 allies and partners to continue our coordination; to commend them on the unprecedented steps that they’ve taken to support Ukraine and hold Russia to account; and to reaffirm our Article 5 commitment that an attack on any NATO member is an attack on all. From there, I’ll travel to Poland, which is already hosting hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees, with tens of thousands arriving by the day; and then to Moldova, which is also hosting Ukrainian refugees, and where Russian troops have been occupying territory against the will of the people for years.

And then I’ll go on to the Baltic countries – to Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia – which are facing a renewed threat from Russia themselves, as President Putin seeks to reassert Russia’s dominance over former Soviet republics. Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are our NATO Allies, and as President Biden has said, we will defend every inch of NATO territory against any aggression from Russia or otherwise”, - said Antony Blinken.
