BBC: Nato response force deployed - Stoltenberg

BBC

Nato's Stoltenberg tells reporters that Nato has deployed elements of its rapid response force on land, sea and in the air.

He says that the security bloc has "already strengthened our defence" and that the US, Canada and European nations have already deployed thousands of troops to the region.

More than 100 fighter jets are now operating in 30 defence locations in Europe, accompanied by more than 120 ships and three strike carrier groups, Mr Stoltenberg says.

He emphasises that the forces will defend "every inch of Nato territory" and adds that it will continue to offer support to Ukraine, as well as other nations in the region threatened by Russia - including Georgia, Moldova and Bosnia.
