NATO’s Harsh Message To Lukashenka Regime

The Alliance declared full support for the people of Ukraine.

Russia must immediately stop this war and withdraw from Ukraine. Belarus must end its complicity in this war.

This is stated in the NATO’s declaration following the two-day summit in Madrid.

“We will continue to counter Russia’s lies and reject its irresponsible rhetoric. Russia must immediately stop this war and withdraw from Ukraine. Belarus must end its complicity in this war,” the document says.

NATO countries condemned Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine in the strongest possible terms, saying that it gravely undermines international security and stability.

“Russia’s appalling cruelty has caused immense human suffering and massive displacements, disproportionately affecting women and children. Russia bears full responsibility for this humanitarian catastrophe. Russia must enable safe, unhindered, and sustained humanitarian access. Allies are working with relevant stakeholders in the international community to hold accountable all those responsible for war crimes, including conflict-related sexual violence,” the statement says.

NATO also notes that Russia has also intentionally exacerbated a food and energy crisis, affecting billions of people around the world, including through its military actions.

The Alliance stated that they stand in full solidarity with the government and the people of Ukraine in the heroic defense of their country, and with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
