NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg announced that the military alliance ‘will not mirror Russia’s destabilising behaviour’ during a speech in Brussels on Thursday, as part of the NATO ministers of defence summit, following Russia’s decision to suspend its mission to NATO on Monday.
Announcing plans to undertake a ‘major adaptation’ to NATO’s current defence capabilities, Stoltenberg said that ministers had reviewed their response to the ‘growing threat’ of Russian missiles.
“We will not mirror Russia’s destabilising behaviour and we have no intention to deploy new land-based nuclear missiles in Europe, so we are implementing a balanced package of political and military measures to respond to this threat,” Stoltenberg continued.
The measures will include improvements to air and missile defence systems, adapting current exercises and intelligence, and improving NATO’s nuclear deterrents.
On Monday, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that Moscow would be suspending its mission to NATO, after eight Russian diplomats were expelled from NATO’s Brussels office on spying allegations.
Meetings of the North Atlantic Council (NAC) at the level of defence ministers are scheduled to be held at the NATO Headquarters on October 21-22, 2021.

SOT, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General: “NATO is already making a major adaptation of our alliance and we are undertaking a major adaptation to a more complex and competitive world.”

SOT, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General: “We have increased the readiness of our forces and all allies are investing more in defence. Today, ministers endorsed a new overarching plan to defend our alliance in crisis and conflict to make sure that we continue to have the right forces at the right place at the right time, to protect our one billion people from any threat.”

SOT, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General: “Ministers also reviewed progress in our response to the growing threat from Russia’s missile systems. We will not mirror Russia’s destabilising behaviour and we have no intention to deploy new land-based nuclear missiles in Europe, so we are implementing a balanced package of political and military measures to respond to this threat.”

SOT, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General: “This includes significant improvements to our air and missile defences, strengthening our conventional capabilities with fifth-generation jets, adapting our exercises and intelligence, and improving the readiness and effectiveness of our nuclear deterrent.”

SOT, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General: “Ministers also agreed to the NATO capability targets. This is part of the NATO defence-planning process, and these targets help to ensure that we have the capabilities for credible deterrence and defence.”
