NATO to enhance presence in eastern Europe
The NATO chief welcomed the announcement made by many Allies on how they would contribute and pointed6 out that further decisions will be taken at the Warsaw Summit in July.
NATO has increased its presence in the eastern part of the Alliance in light of the Ukraine crisis. "We have tripled the size of the NATO Response Force to more than 40,000 troops, with the new Spearhead Force at its core. And we have activated7 six small headquarters in our eastern Allies, and are setting up two more," Stoltenberg highlighted.
