BRUSSELS, 20 February 2022, (TON): An alliance official said “NATO is relocating staff from Ukraine’s capital Kyiv to Lviv, in the west of the country, and to the Belgian capital Brussels for their safety.”
The official told AFP, without giving numbers that the safety of our personnel is paramount, so staff have been relocated to Lviv and Brussels. The NATO offices in Ukraine remain operational.
Several Western countries have already moved diplomats from Kiev to Lviv, located near the border with Poland, in anticipation of Russian military action.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said “every indication indicates that Russia is planning a full-fledged attack against Ukraine.”
“We all agree that the risk of an attack is very high,” he told German broadcaster ARD on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
The United States dominates NATO, and US President Joe Biden on Friday said he was convinced Russia was going to invade Ukraine within the week, and have its forces target Kyiv.
