The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has said it
will be sending forces and prepositioned equipment to the eastern flank.
And this will be the first time the organisation would be
taking such action since the Cold War.
The alliance’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg disclosed
this on Wednesday, according to CNN.
According to him, this would provide a quick response by
NATO in case of a threat.
He said at a Brussels news conference before a NATO Defense
Ministers’ meeting.
“That’s exactly what we are working on with Germany but we
expect all the allies to make similar offers, to enable preassigned forces that
are training and are responsible for the defense of specific territories,” Stoltenberg
said.
