NATO Chief Confirms On Friday Virtual Summit

Moscow, Feb 24: NATO will hold a virtual summit this Friday to address the situation in Ukraine and the alliance’s next steps, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday.

“I have called a virtual summit of NATO leaders tomorrow to address the way forward. Russia is now facing severe cost and consequences imposed by the whole of the international community,” Stoltenberg said during his press conference following the NATO meeting on the Russian military operation in Ukraine.

The EU may discuss imposing personal sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bloomberg reported, citing sources. It noted that this measure would be mostly symbolic. It can be adopted if there is the necessary political consent for this.
