World News: NATO Vows To Avenge Attack On Ukraine

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has vowed to avenge any attack targeted at its members by Russian troops Amid Ukraine’s efforts to repel attacks from Russia on this Thursday, 24th February 2022.

Recall that NATO had earlier denounced Russian attack on Ukrainian cities as reckless and unprovoked, warning that countless lives were at risk.

The  Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, in a press briefing earlier today has said that the invasion was deliberate, cold-blooded and long-planned, stressing that “Russian leaders bear full responsibility for lives lost”.

NATO said, “Once again despite our repeated warnings and tireless efforts to engage in diplomacy, Russia has chosen the path of aggression against a sovereign and independent country.

“This is a great breach of international law, and a serious threat on Euro-Atlantic security. I call on Russia to cease its military action immediately, withdraw its forces from Ukraine and honour Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and right to self-defense. An attack on one is an attack on all. This is our collective security guarantee”, Stoltenberg commented.

“Peace cannot be taken for granted. We will protect our people. Democracy must prevail over autocracy. Freedom must prevail over oppression. Attack on members of the alliance will mean a response from us. We will stand in solidarity with Ukraine. We will never allow Russia’s current violation of international law yo slip away”, he added.
