WASHINGTON, 27 March 2022, (TON): NATO Deputy-General Secretary Mircea Geoana said that the group would respond if Russia used chemical or nuclear weapons in its war against Ukraine.
Geoana, who is also the former Romanian foreign minister and ambassador to the United States said “NATO is a defensive alliance, but also it’s a nuclear alliance.”
“If they will be using chemical weapons or other kinds of higher-end systems against Ukraine, this will be changing fundamentally the nature of the war that Mr. Putin has waged against Ukraine.”
Geoana added “I can guarantee that NATO is ready to respond proportionately.”
Geoana would not detail to the AP what those actions could be, but his comments come as Russian officials have refused to say that Russia won’t use chemical or nuclear weapons in its invasion.
